This walk through is a bare bones solution to my game On the Farm.
Even though it will win the game, there are other things you can do
that are not included here.  

Please Note:  This game includes some random elements, mostly surrounding
Grandma's wandering about the house.  You may not be able to perform
certain actions while she is around.  However, here are some simple rules that
will help the player get around any problems she is causing.  First, Grandma
will never leave a room that you are in.  So, if you want to get her out of a
room, you must leave it first.  Second, in general, Grandma will decide to move
roughly every 5 to 7 turns. Every once in a while your grandparents will
have something to say unbidden.  If they ask you questions your answers will
not affect the outcome of the game.  However, your answers may affect what
you learn about them.


I have included room names in the walk through after direction
commands to ensure that the player does not get lost while trying
to follow the transcript.

EXAMPLE OF GRANDPA ASKING A QUESTION

Grandpa asks, "Do you kids still play checkers?  We used to play checkers all
the time.  The strategy behind checkers is a lost art I tell you."

>yes

Grandpa snorts out a chuckle, "Hrmph, too bad we don't have a checkerboard or I
would really learn you how to play."

One of the bees flies straight towards your face, and stings you on the
forehead.

Grandma walks into the room, and says, "I thought I heard you in..."  She stops
abruptly after getting one look at you.  Grandma grabs you by the ear and
scolds you, "Look at you!  You're all covered in..  in..  shit!  Get out of the
house and clean yourself up!"

She then proceeds to drag you (quite painfully) outside by your ear.
