###£$†=.¨¨ Forgotten Apple  Orchard.  Our  House Is ¨¨.=†$£###
##£$†=.¨¨¨ Built  Of  Dark  Clay And Abandoned By A ¨¨¨.=†$£##
#£$†=.¨¨¨¨ Stranger.  The Window  Has  No Glass But ¨¨¨¨.=†$£#

##£$†=.¨¨¨ For  They  Speak To  Us To Join Them  In ¨¨¨.=†$£##
#£$†=.¨¨¨¨ The Luscious  Caves  Below Ground.  They ¨¨¨¨.=†$£#
£$†=.¨¨¨¨¨ Mean No  Harm  But It Is Not In Our Best ¨¨¨¨¨.=†$£
