Once again, I’m trying to add a wooden box and a metal sign to my beach location. The game compiles with no errors. However, when the game runs, the box doesn’t show up at the beach but the sign does show up and works properly when reading it. The mystery to me is that the sign is after the box in the code. Here’s the code. don’t want to go further until this problem is solved. I have no idea what is going on with this.

a large metal sign."
cannotTakeMSG = 'Sorry, but it is very rigidly attached to the tree. Besides,
there is no reason to take it with you.'
