¨¨¨¨#¨#¨## ~ ~ ~ ~ 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. ~ ¨¨¨##¨#¨¨¨
