ALEC'S ADVENTURES IN THE VIRTUAL & REAL WORLDS

Alec found this computer game under the New Year tree in the morning on the first of January. It was a present from his parents. Somebody advised them to buy a game "Solve the Tasks and Win a Prize". When they were buying this game, the shop assistant warned them: "Take care! Our customers say there is some peculiarity in this game". But they didn't pay attention to these words.

Alec was happy to get a new computer game. He turned on the computer and began to play. YOU HAVE TO SOLVE THE TASKS. GOOD LUCK'

The tasks appeared on the screen. Alec managed to solve these tasks/

WHAT DO YOU WISH FOR?

Alec laughed. This game was very different from any other computer games that he had played. Usually they said, "TRY AGAIN", and told you how to make the game more difficult. I'M GLAD I'VE SOLVED THE TASKS AND THAT'S MY REWARD

But the message remained on the screen. Alec tried to think of something. What could he ask for?

Then he typed the message. I WISH I HAD A TICKET FOR THE FOOTBALL MATCH. MESSAGE UNDERSTOOD. GOOD BYE, - said the screen.

"If you ask a crazy question, you'll get a crazy answer. Nobody has ever asked a computer for tickets," - Alec said to himself.

Three days later his mother returned home from her office and said:

"My brother brought these tickets into my office just before I left for home. He will be busy and won't go to this match. Do you want to go with somebody from your group?"

Alec couldn't believe it but his mother gave him the real tickets for the real match.

Alec ran up to his computer, took out the computer game. YOU HAVE TO SOLVE THE TASKS. GOOD LUCK!

These tasks were more difficult. But Alec managed to do them.

YOU HAVE SOLVED THE TASKS. YOU HAVE WON A PRIZE. WHAT DO YOU WISH FOR?

Alec didn't think long. I WISH I COULD GO ON A TRIP.

A moment later he saw on the screen: MESSAGE UNDERSTOOD. GOOD BYE.

...One day at the end of May Alec left the house early and found a card in the mail box. It was a business card and it said, "You have won a trip to America".

The trip was wonderful. Alec visited a lot of interesting places.

When he returned home he first of all ran to his computer and took out his fantastic game. Soon the tasks were solved and the computer invited him again to ask for his prize.

And Alec began to type. He wanted everything and immediately. "I wish..."

The list was very long. He asked for a lot of different things.

The computer began to make a strange noise. Red and white lines appeared on the screen. WARNING! OVERLOAD.

The noise became louder and louder. And then the screen said:

YOU HAVE SOLVED THE TASKS. THAT'S YOUR REWARD. TRY AGAIN. CHOOSE THE LEVEL.
