^\-.¨¨¨¨¨¨ - - - - 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 ¨¨¨¨.-\^*£

@£*^\-.¨¨¨ 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. - - - - - - - - - - - - ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.
-.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.-
