	As you ride across the firm sandy beach towards the 
Š	excited crowd you see that they are gathered around 
Š	the carcass of a whale. These poor villagers are 
Š	celebrating their unexpected good fortune for this 
Š	whale will provide them with food for a month, and 
Š	enough oil to fuel their lamps until winter. A 
Š	cheerful-looking old man hails you with his walking 
Š	stick and you slow your horse to a halt.

	"You be bound for Bir Rabalou, good Sirs ?" he asks,
	"'cause if you is, then you'd do well to heed my 
Š	advice."

	"And what advice would that be ?" replies Ernan. The 
Š	old man give him a thin smile and then hobbles nearer 
Š	to your horse. He does not say anything; he simply 
Š	holds out his hand in the hope that you will pay him 
Š	something for his advice.


	If you wish to give this old man 1 Gold Crown, turn 
Š	to  â219â
	
	If you choose not to give him anything, turn to  â313â
