There Was Once A Merchant Who Was

A Human Life Is A Story Told By God.

At First She Was Overjoyed That He Would Be With Her, But Then She Recalled That Human People Could Not Live Under The Water, And He Could Only Visit Her Father's Palace As A Dead Man.

Sharp Knives Seemed To Cut Her Delicate Feet, Yet She Hardly Felt Them, So Deep Was The Pain In Her Heart. She Could Not Forget That This Was The Last Night She Would Ever See The One For Whom She Had Left Her Home And Family, Had Given Up Her Beautiful Voice, And Had Day By Day Endured Unending Torment, Of Which He Knew Nothing At All. An Eternal Night Awaited Her.

Being Born In A Duck Yard Does Not Matter, If Only You Are Hatched From A Swan's Egg.

Most Of The People Who Will Walk After Me Will Be Children, So Make The Beat Keep Time With Short Steps.
