Introduction |
Wilson, Wilson |
Wilson, Wilson |
Wilson |
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 |
