##¤&$=«:¨¨ EYES SEWN SHUT FROM BIRTH... THE MOST ¨¨:«=$&¤##
###¤&$=«:¨ SUCCESSFUL STUDENT ¨:«=$&¤###
##¤&$=«:¨¨ ¨¨:«=$&¤##
#¤&$=«:¨¨¨ BUT ONE DAY HE FELL DOWN INTO A CRYSTAL ¨¨¨:«=$&¤#
¤&$=«:¨¨¨¨ CAVERN. IT WAS DEEP IN THE MOUNTAIN, A ¨¨¨¨:«=$&¤
&$=«:¨¨¨¨¨ GREAT HALL WITH ONLY A SINGLE TINY ¨¨¨¨¨:«=$&
