Bland response to "READ NEWSPAPERS"

Opened this issue · 0 comments

At the llama farm, there is a notice to the newspaper boy about the owner being on vacation. As a joke, the game adds a PAPERS object as a joke:

>TAKE NEWSPAPERS
The pile of newspapers is only a joke. You don't have to pick them up.

It has the READABLE bit, but since PAPERS-F doesn't handle the READ action you get the default response:

>READ NEWSPAPERS
There's nothing written on it.

Which feels like it could be done better. Perhaps simply "The pile of newspapers is only a joke." or something like that?
