Identify an Apple game where you need to get your stick figure home for your birthday

Question

When I was younger, I remember playing a game on an old Apple computer. It came on a 5 1/4" floppy. The entire purpose of this game was to navigate your stick figure through a series of puzzles in order to get home for his birthday. If I remember correctly, you had to go through a series of "choose your own adventure" type scenarios that would result in you either getting to the next level, or dying in a horrible fashion.

Also, I could be completely wrong here, but I'm pretty sure it ended when you got home for your birthday, and your house exploded...

It was something I played in elementary school. Our teacher would let us choose between this, and The Oregon Trail. I can't remember the exact year, but hopefully that will help with a rough estimate.

Answer

After some serious spanking of the advanced search options in google, I believe that you might be referring to Adventures of Alfredo or Alfredos Stupendous Surprise. Alfredos stupendous surprise seems to be the best fit from your description.
