((Posted all over New Cirra)) Notice to all citizens of New Cirra:

Our Benevolent Goddess requests your presence at the Most Holy Temple for a Talent Contest on XX/XX/XX. All citizens are required to attend and perform for Her Glorious Magnificence. See rules below for other information.

Rules:

01. All citizens of New Cirra as well as any visitors to New Cirra present at the time of the Contest must attend and perform or suffer Her Justifiable Wrath.

...

14. Talents involving the death or dismemberment of fellow Cirrans are strictly prohibited unless the Talent is particularly impressive. Submit a request for special dispensation if you have such a talent.

...

32. Any group of citizens is excused from the Talent Contest if they retrieve the Goddess' Slinky which was brutally stolen last week by a certain Giant Lizard.

33. Note that mounting an expedition is not cause for a special dispensation from the Talent Constest. Only the retrival of the Slinky will suffice.

34. Slinky rescue expedition sign-up forms are available at the Temple.

Note 1.

The Slinky Song. I got it off of a Slinky web site; they transcribed it from a WAV file. I think this is an early version of the song since the wording is different than I remember. The WAV file seems incomplete so I added the fourth stanza.

Slinky Song

Who walks a stair, without a care
It shoots so high in the sky.
Bounce up and down, just like a clown.
Everyone knows its Slinky.

The best present yet, to give or get
The kids will all want to try
The hit of the day, when you are ready to play
Everyone knows it's Slinky

It's Slinky, It's Slinky
for fun it's the best of the toys
It's Slinky, It's Slinky
The favorite of girls and boys

[It's Slinky, It's Slinky
for fun it's a wonderful toy
It's Slinky, It's Slinky
It's fun for a girl and a boy]
