****************** THE STORY *****************************

The Planet:
-----------
Mr.FroOonk lives on a planet far away from Earth.
Nobody knows exactly where it is but Mr.FroOonk and his friends
have it really nice there.

Outside of Mr.FroOonks house is a huge pillar with a bowl at the
top which contains all the crystals that Mr.FroOonks grandfather
put there so that the sunlight can fill them with warmth.

The crystals store the heat during the day when the sun shines 
and when night comes it used to always get so cold on the planet, 
but when the crystals are in the bowl they have so much heat
gathered that they can warn Mr.FroOonk and his friends well enough
that they can sleep calmly throughout the nights and not be cold.

The Gruls:
----------
The Gruls are small mean creatures from another planet.
The Gruls are very clumsy and usually fly around in their spaceships above
Mr.FroOonks and his friends houses and sometimes land on the planet and
cause a big mess in the forest.

The Gruls speak a very strange language which Mr.FroOonk and his friends
can't understand and they are often very angry and threatening.
If you get too close to a Grul, it will bite with its big blunt teeth.

The Mission:
------------
One day Mr.FroOonk wokr up by an incredible bang.
He went out and saw that the Gruls had crashed into the pillar
holding the crystals. All the crystals are now spread out over
the planet.

Some of the Grulks that landed have found the crystals and
started to move them around. It is urgent to get a hold of
all the crystals and get then back to the pillar before the night
so that Mr.FroOonk and his friends don't have to be cold.

Now you must, as Mr.FroOonk, try to find all the crystals while
staying clear of all the Gruls, they are always mean.
Luckily you can always jump over these creatures and outrun them
if you must. Grandfather is around somewhere waiting for you to 
collect all the crystals so he can help you get them back where
they belong.

Good luck!
