##@%:-.¨¨¨ - - - - 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. - - - - - - ¨¨.-:%@###

###@%:-.¨¨ 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. - - - - - - - - - - - - ¨¨.-:%@###
##@%:-.¨¨¨ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ¨¨¨.-:%@##
