Children of the village gather around cheering. They promptly start throwing stones at the bottles
whilst singing Ten Green Bottles. Never mind, it was worth the effort just to see the smiles of the
faces of the little thugs.
The mayor arrives and shakes your hand. He has lost the harassed look,
but for how long you wonder.....
CONGRATULATIONS you have found all ten bottles and make the children
of Bottleton Green very happy for a little while.
