"Jiji and the mysterious forest" is a sequence to "Jiji's fish???

Content of the story **********************************************
  The main character of the story, a black cat named Jiji,
continues on a adventure to find the country of fish.
  Recently, while starving in the meadow, Jiji sighted a
school of fish flying by.  Jiji eagerly sets out chase after them.  

[Jiji] "Iiit's a fish!!!"
[Jiji] "Oh, no, they're swimming away. Wait for me----!(bumpX\!#&)"
Good gracious, dear me.  Jiji, transfixed to the fish, didn't see
that big round tree in front of his path.
[Jiji] "Oooooouch. Oh, no. They're heading into the forest"
Jiji, in fervor of chasing after a school of fish, found himself in 
front the the deep deep forest.
[Jiji] "Where did the fishes go?"
Jiji catches a glimpse of the fishes swimming ever deeply into the forest.
Jiji, mustering up his courage, decides to enters the forest.

Goal of the game ******************************************
  Jiji enters the forest from the Northeast side.  "The mysterious forest" is
just the name Jiji uses to call the forest, and creatures of the forest calls
it the camphor forest.  This is because somewhere deep within the forest lives
an age old camphor tree.  Before he was born, the forest used to have a
different name, but that was a long time ago.  Unknown years has pasted since
that name was uttered, that only few creatures now even remember the forest
had a different name.
  Oops, got a little bit sidetracked there, but the goal of this story is to 
pass through this camphor forest.

Combat Commands ***********************************
* Scratch
	Jiji's favorite mode of attack.  There's
	pretty much power behind that scratch.
* Jiji Punch
	Not as powerful as the Scratch, but Jiji won't
	get tired as much.  Saying that much, there
	probably isn't that much difference.  Well,
	it's probably alright if you always scratch. 
* Lunch
	When Jiji is totally exhausted during a combat,
	eat a lunch.  Similar to the Lunch button,
	Jiji's strength will recover.
* Run-away
	Run-away from the enemy.  Depending on Jiji's
	current strength and fate, Jiji may not 
	succeed in running away.

Bug ********************************************
  This program uses System Font.  If your system is
set to display in other fonts, some message might not

  Also, BGM sometimes will suddenly stop.  The causes
are still unknown (T_T).
