    Chuckie Egg: instructions

    "Objective- Collect eggs from the hen house."
    
    You are "Li'l farmer boy", and your mission is to collect all dozen eggs from
    each screen.  You get chased by hens, (which look more like ostriches, but
    there you go,) who follow a pre-set path, so once you learn their pattern,
    they shouldn't cause too much trouble...
    
    Once you have collected the last egg, the you automagically are transported
    to the next screen, which means that some eggs have to be collected last of
    all, as they may be hanging in mid air.
    
    Contact with the following is injurious to li'l farmer boy:
    
    The top of the screen
    The bottom of the screen
    The Hens
    The Flying chicken, whether caged or uncaged.
    
    Jumping into the bottom left corner of screen 2 can occasionally cause li'l
    farmer boy to fall through the floor, and touch the bottom of the screen,
    killing him.
