It was a dark and foggy night. We drove and drove. At midnight, just as we
thought we were lost, we saw a light behind some trees. As we got nearer, we could see a
house. It looked deserted, abandoned. We knocked on the heavy, wooden door. It opened
slowly. A tall man dressed entirely in a black stood there. “Good evening,” he said in a
slow, deep voice. “I have expecting you.”

5.In an age of treachery and darkness, one king brought peace and prosperity to his land,
defended it from every danger, and expanded it to an empire that would rival Rome itself.
His wise counselor taught him the ways of justice and to value truth. At his command a
loyal band of fearless, gentle knights protected the helpless, struggled against evil, and
faced unimagined peril in the search for the holiest of relics. Though his queen and his
best knight would betray him, though his own son would defeat him, though the shining
kingdom he had forged would fall into ruin, still he set the standard by which all other
leaders would be judged for centuries.
6. Grasshopper and Toad appeared to be good friends. People always saw them together.
Yet they had never dined at each other's houses. One day Toad said to Grasshopper,
"Dear friend, tomorrow come and dine at my house. My wife and I will prepare a special

The next day Grasshopper arrived at Toad's house. Before sitting down to eat, Toad
washed his forelegs, and invited Grasshopper to do the same. Grasshopper did so, and it
made a loud noise.
