You are on a twisting North/South path in a forest.
The only obvious exit leads South.

You find yourself in a sunlit glade deep within a forest.  The grass
feels healthy and springy beneath your feet, and smells fresh and
alive.  You can hear birds singing in the trees, and the silvery
babbling of a nearby brook.  You can see an old stone well to the
East of here.
Obvious exits lead: East, North, South.
You can also see:
    A fluffy white rabbit
    A large wooden packing crate, in which is:

            An elaborately illuminated leaflet
