 ES= Object candy "candy" Closet

 ES= It prints the initial, but then upon examination or any other action,
 ES= says "You cant see that".

You forgot to include the "name" property so the parser doesn't know how to
refer to the object... the "candy" in the object defintion is the short name
that will be printed, the name property specifies words which can be used by
the parser to refer to the object.
