..¤¤¤.¤¤.. ~ ~ ~ ~ elves live in the land ~ ~ ~ ~ ¤..¤¤.¤¤¤¤
.¤..¤¤.¤.. ~ ~ ~ ~ beyond the great dam. ~ ~ ~ ~ ¤.¤.¤¤...¤
¤¤.¤.¤¤¤.¤ ~ it was built in the late sixties. ~ ¤¤¤¤.¤..¤¤

¤.¤...¤¤¤¤ they were very manipulative, and we ¤.¤¤¤.¤¤¤.
¤¤¤..¤...¤ came to trust them. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ us ¤¤..¤¤..¤¤
..¤.¤¤..¤. kids would play down at the water even .¤.¤.¤.¤..

¤..¤¤¤¤.¤. ~ ~ ~ ~ before the dam opened again, ..¤¤.¤.¤¤¤
¤.¤...¤¤¤. there would be a signal, but the elves .¤.¤¤¤¤...
¤¤¤..¤..¤. would make us not hear it, and suddenly ¤¤¤...¤..¤
