¨¨¨#¨#¨##¨ ~ ~ ~  ~ 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. ~  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ¨¨¨#¨#¨¨#¨
#¨##¨¨#¨#¨ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ¨¨¨####¨##
