|
Once upon a time there was a mountain
|
That rose out of a vast green forest
|
And in the forest there were birds
|
And lakes and rocks and trees and rivers
|
The forest was also inhabited
|
By a small group of people called the lizards
|
The lizards were a simple people
|
And they had lived in the forest undisturbed
|
For thousands of years in utter peace and tranquility
|
Once a year when spring came
|
And the first blossoms began to show
|
The lizards would gather at the base of the mountain
|
To give thanks for all that they had
|
They thanked the birds
|
And they thanked the lakes and they thanked the rocks
|
And the trees and the rivers
|
But most importantly, they thanked Icculus
|
Icculus lived at the top of the mountain
|
Or at least everyone thought so
|
For no one had actually ever seen him
|
But they knew he existed
|
Because they had the Helping Friendly Book
|
Icculus had given the Helping Friendly Book
|
To the Lizards thousands of years earlier as a gift
|
It contained all of the knowledge
|
Inherent in the universe
|
And had enabled the Lizards
|
To exist in harmony with nature for years
|
And so they lived
|
Until one day a traveler arrived in Gamehendge
|
His name was Wilson
|
And he quickly became intrigued
|
By the Lizards way of life
|
He asked if he could stay on
|
And live in the forest
|
And the Lizards, who had never seen an outsider
|
Were happy to oblige
|
Wilson lived with the Lizards for a few years
|
Studying the ways of the Helping Friendly Book
|
And all was well
|
Until one morning when they awoke and the book was gone
|
Wilson explained that he had hidden the book
|
Knowing that the Lizards had become
|
Dependent on it for survival
|
He declared himself king
|
And enslaved the innocent people of Gamehendge
|
He cut down the trees and built a city
|
Which he called Prussia
|
And in the center of the city
|
He built a castle
|
And locked in the highest tower of the castle |
