ALEC'S ADVENTURES
IN THE VIRTUAL & REAL WORLDS
Alec
found this computer game under the New Year tree in the morning on the first of
January. It was a present from his parents. Somebody advised them to buy a game
"Solve the Tasks and Win a Prize". When they were buying this game,
the shop assistant warned them: "Take care! Our customers say there is
some peculiarity in this game". But they didn't pay attention to these
words.
Alec
was happy to get a new computer game. He turned on the computer and began to
play. YOU HAVE TO SOLVE THE TASKS. GOOD LUCK'
The
tasks appeared on the screen. Alec managed to solve these tasks/
WHAT DO YOU WISH
FOR?
Alec laughed. This
game was very different from any other computer games that he had played.
Usually they said, "TRY AGAIN", and told you how to make the game
more difficult. I'M GLAD I'VE SOLVED THE TASKS AND THAT'S MY REWARD
But the message
remained on the screen. Alec tried to think of something. What could he ask for?
Then
he typed the message. I WISH I HAD A TICKET FOR THE FOOTBALL MATCH. MESSAGE
UNDERSTOOD. GOOD BYE, - said the screen.
"If
you ask a crazy question, you'll get a crazy answer. Nobody has ever asked a
computer for tickets," - Alec said to himself.
Three
days later his mother returned home from her office and said:
"My brother
brought these tickets into my office just before I left for home. He will be
busy and won't go to this match. Do you want to go with somebody from your group?"
Alec
couldn't believe it but his mother gave him the real tickets for the real
match.
Alec
ran up to his computer, took out the computer game. YOU HAVE TO SOLVE THE
TASKS. GOOD LUCK!
These
tasks were more difficult. But Alec managed to do them.
YOU
HAVE SOLVED THE TASKS. YOU HAVE WON A PRIZE. WHAT DO YOU WISH FOR?
Alec didn't think
long. I WISH I COULD GO ON A TRIP.
A moment later he
saw on the screen: MESSAGE UNDERSTOOD. GOOD BYE.
...One day at the
end of May Alec left the house early and found a card in the mail box. It was a
business card and it said, "You have won a trip to America".
The
trip was wonderful. Alec visited a lot of interesting places.
When
he returned home he first of all ran to his computer and took out his
fantastic game. Soon the tasks were solved and the computer invited him again
to ask for his prize.
And
Alec began to type. He wanted everything and immediately. "I
wish..."
The
list was very long. He asked for a lot of different things.
The
computer began to make a strange noise. Red and white lines appeared on the
screen. WARNING! OVERLOAD.
The
noise became louder and louder. And then the screen said:
YOU
HAVE SOLVED THE TASKS. THAT'S YOUR REWARD. TRY AGAIN. CHOOSE THE LEVEL.
