#£#&^^~^¨¨ ~ ~ ~ ~ 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. ~ ¨¨¨¨¨^~^^&
