-The felling-

----------------------------------------

You decide to take the axe out of the boat. It feels quite heavy in your hand and you wonder if you could actually manage to chop down all 4 trees. At least it seems sturdy enough to do the job.

You walk slowly towards the tree. Hopefully it wouldn't fall so stupidly and hit you... Then you put on the axe and strike. It doesn't seem to have done much good.

After a lot of hard work and an eternity of time, the tree suddenly moves. It leans in one direction and makes a groaning sound. You jump back, but luckily for you, it falls in the opposite direction and doesn't even come close to you when it hits the ground.

Add 1 board to your inventory.

If you no longer want to use the axe, add it to your inventory as an axe for another three uses.

----------------------------------------

- If you now want to examine the ground, do so in section 246.

- If you would rather use the axe again and try to chop down the remaining three trees, then go to section 260.

- If you have a fishing rod, you can also try your luck at fishing in section 248.

- If you already have 4 planks in your inventory, you can repair the boat in section 263 and continue your journey.
