¨¨¨¨##¨¨¨¨ - - - - elves live in the land - - - - #¨¨¨¨¨¨###
¨##¨¨¨¨### - - - - beyond the great dam. - - - - ¨¨####¨¨#¨
¨¨¨¨##¨¨#¨ - it was built in the late sixties. - #¨¨##¨¨¨¨¨
###¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ - - - the elves came to us then. - - - ¨¨¨¨¨¨####

¨¨##¨¨###¨ they were very manipulative, and we ###¨¨##¨¨#
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨#¨¨ came to trust them. - - - - - - - - us ¨#¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
######¨¨¨¨ kids would play down at the water even ¨¨¨#######
#####¨¨### though we were not allowed. - - - - - - ¨#¨¨######
####¨¨¨¨## - - sometimes the sluice would close ¨¨¨¨¨#####
###¨¨##¨¨# entirely, and the river at the dams ####¨¨####
##¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ foot would dry up, revealing the rocky ###¨¨¨¨###
#¨¨####### water garden that had been hidden ¨#¨¨##¨¨##
¨¨¨¨###### beneath, and we would go there. - - - - ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨#
¨##¨¨##### - - - - before the dam opened again, ¨#######¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨#### there would be a signal, but the elves ¨¨#####¨¨#
¨####¨¨### would make us not hear it, and suddenly #¨¨###¨¨¨¨
¨¨##¨¨¨¨## we would find the water rising, already ¨¨¨¨#¨¨###
¨¨¨¨¨##¨¨# at our knees. - - - - - - - - - - - - ###¨¨¨¨¨#¨
