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
