Perplexing Hunt

In this game the seeker for a prize is guided from place to place by doggerels as the following, and is started on his hunt with this rhyme:

“Perhaps you’ll find it in the air;
If not, look underneath your chair.”

Beneath his chair he finds the following:

“No, you will not find it here;
Search the clock and have no fear.”

Under the clock he finds:

“You will have to try once more;
Look behind the parlor door.”

Tied to the door-knob he discovers:

“If it’s not out in the stable.
Seek beneath the kitchen table.”

Under the kitchen table he finds another note, which reads:

“If your quest remains uncertain,
You will find it ’neath a curtain.”

And here his quest is rewarded by finding the prize.
