 You are standing before a gigantic fountain in the center
 of the city.  The buildings tower above you, seeming to
 climb into the heavens themselves.  Never before have you
 seen such wonderful architecture.  Children run past you,
 as townsfolk go about their daily business.  You also see
 a fountain.

Also here:
a town guard, and a fuzzy grey kitten.
Exits: north east south west.
