'It was said of this land that the very air had the power to change hearts, and that the Silver Streams could wash a man's poverty into the Great Sea. Throughout the ages, singers had sung songs, thinkers had thought thoughts, and philosophers had pondered. Astrologers and magicians had gazed into the answerless stars, but the secret of this kingdom was not revealed to the wise. Only children really understood the secret, and if they told you, you might not believe them.'
