Gnu in the Zoo — 12 of 30

Section 2 - Affero's Stall

Affero's Stall is a covered room. "This stall is almost identical to yours, except it is slightly untidier but smells somewhat sweeter. Your stall lies back to the east." It is west of Your Stall.

Affero the Gnu is a female gnu. "Curled up in the stall is the sleeping form of Affero, a fellow gnu. Apparently she’s something of a poster child for the zoo, with her own website and webcam. Looking at the silky threads that infest the upper corners of the stall, you can believe it.[paragraph break]Affero stirs to wakefulness as you approach." The description of Affero is "She’s a gnu. Agnother gnu. You'd be thrilled if she’d consent to follow you. Even in the dark you see she’s gno tsessebe. Oh, gno, gno, gno, she’s a gnu." She is in Affero's Stall.

The webs are an object in Affero's Stall. "The webs are heavy with dirt and grime." They are scenery. Understand "silky threads" as the webs.
