&¨&&¨¨&&¨¨ - - - - 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. - - - - - - - - - - - - &¨¨¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&&¨&&¨¨& - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - &¨¨&&&&&&&
&&¨&&¨&¨&& - by then the elves would be gone. - &¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
