As expected, Tortimer was waiting for me outside my house when I started up the game.
Once again, he scolded me for not turning the lighthouse on every night while he was gone.
When I checked my mail, I found a goodbye letter from Fang.
Of course the snow on the ground has all melted away, and the grass is green again. But it’s hard to enjoy the grass when it’s pouring rain.
I got a nice surprise when I dug up the day’s glowing spot; it contained 10,000 bells instead of the usual 1,000 bells. Nice! I later found Gulliver washed up on the beach and I woke him up.
He gave me a fishing bear, which is an item that didn’t make it to City Folk.
I also got to meet my new neighbor Rolf, a white tiger. I had him in City Folk before; he’s pretty cool.
