You throw the staff (? I think) and then say "fee fie foe foo",
which puts it back to where you originally found it.

You feed the bear (which means you never get to eat), who then
follows you around, then drop the bear at the bridge, who chases
the troll away!

When my wife and I were engaged, we spent several hours dialed-in
to the 3000 at work, making maps and writing notes.  I think we
had the most fun figuring out the "twisty maze of little passages,
all different" (or was that the "maze of twisty little passages,
all different"? - or - "little maze of twisty passages, all
different"? ...)
