&^/-,¨¨¨¨¨ A STUDENT AT THE CHARCOAL GUILD... HIS ¨¨¨¨¨,-/^&

#§&^/-,¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨,-/^&§#

@#§&^/-,¨¨ AND HE WAS STRUCK DOWN WITH AWE ¨¨,-/^&§#@
#§&^/-,¨¨¨ ¨¨¨,-/^&§#
§&^/-,¨¨¨¨ BUT ALSO WITH SHAME, BECAUSE HIS EYES ¨¨¨¨,-/^&§
