This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

The Rock Pool</strong></font></p> <p><font size="4">Curly leans forward and peers down into the water. Beneath the seaweed can be seen many limpets and mussels attached to the rock at the edge and bottom of the pool.<br> <em>"Hello shells,"</em> says Curly, <em>"I didn't know that shells could talk."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Of course shells can't talk,"</em> says the voice, <em>"Don't you know anything?"</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Well, what are you then?"</em> asks Curly.</font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Look, I'm waving at you. Can't you see me?"</em></font></p> <p align="center"><img src="../../Sea/images/pic3.jpg" alt="Curly sees a crab" width="280" height="198"></p> <p><font size="4">Curly looks more closely into the pool and finally sees who is talking to her. Half hidden by a clump of seaweed is a crab.<br> <em>"Oh, you're a crab."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Of course I'm a crab. Now, are you going to help me?"</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"I'll help you if I can,"</em> replies Curly. <em>"What do you want me to do?"</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Just look across the beach and tell me where the water is,"</em> says the crab.</font></p> <p><font size="4">Curly looks towards the sea and says, <em>"The water is where it always is; in the sea."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Of course the water's in the sea, but where's the sea?"</em></font></p> <p><font size="4">Curly looks puzzled. <em>"The sea is over there. It's always over there."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"No it isn't!"</em> shouts the crab. <em>"Sometimes it's over here!"</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Oh. I see what you mean. You're talking about the tide."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Of course I'm talking about the tide. Now, where is it?"</em></font></p> <p><font size="4">Curly looks at the sea again. <em>"The tide is out. Right out. In fact. I've never seen it so far out."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"That's what I thought,"</em> says the crab. <em>"The tide's right out and it shouldn't be. Someone is stealing the sea!"</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"How can that be?"</em> asks Curly. <em>"The sea can't be stolen. It's too big."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"I'm telling you that the sea is being stolen. Either that or someone has pulled the plug out."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4">Curly tries to imagine what a sea plug would look like. She decides that there is no such thing. Perhaps the crab is right and someone is stealing the sea. <em>"You may be right,"</em> she says to the crab. <em>"We've been on the beach for hours and the tide has been out all the time."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Why don't you go and look for the thief?"</em> suggests the crab.</font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Look for the thief? I'm not sure how I can do that, but I'll ask my friend if he wants to help."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Get a move on,"</em> says the crab, <em>"If this pool is all that's left of the ocean, it won't be much fun sharing it with paddling children and fishing boats and submarines and oil tankers and sperm whales and . . ."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4">Wondering whether the crab will ever get to the end of his list of things that use the sea, Curly says goodbye and goes over to where Boysie is giving her a strange look.</font></p> </body> </html>
