I am a church mouse.  I live under the pews of a church.  Sometimes I eat of the crumbs that fall from their pockets.  I hide when mass is taking place.
I have been staring at you for a long time, waiting for you to leave so I can eat the crumbs on the floor.  Well, don't mind me.  I am not allowed to leave until I finish transcribing this tome for the Scholar. Thank you, I was almost starting to feel the hunger pangs. This script must mean a lot to you then.  It is!  I am part of a long unbroken line of scribes, for thousands of years these texts have been kept safe, and recopied when they become too brittle. I hope you are given plenty of food for such fine work that you do. I don't understand any of these words though.  Here, let me show you - I can teach you to read if you wish. Why that would be wonderful... so what do these words mean? It says, "In the fourth year of the Fire King, the stragglers of Mertopia came in the Holy Realm for the first time since the second age . . ." The stragglers of Mertopia? I heard rumors about them but did not think they were true...  Well, it was a thousand years ago.  I believe it refers to the Turtle-folk who now live in the swamps of the Kingdom. Were the Turtle-folks not driven out of their Turtle kingdom by the Ogre-People? I heard it was a bloody war.  It was!  The Ogre-people still speak of the "days when stew was plentiful," and I believe it was to this incident that these songs refer.
