Once upon a time

A long long time ago

There was a planetfloating all alone in space.

Miraculously it sustained many forms of life moving and non-moving creatures

and they would all take great pleasure in watching the heavens above them, revolving in perfect harmonic order.

Before televisions and radios existed, before podcasts and internet pornography had even been imagined,

families would gather round the fire and they would tell folk the stories to pass the time and take wisdom from the elders.

Once upon a time, a god asked a great king 'What is the most amazing thing in the world?

The king replied that every day a million souls pass into the abode of death and yet none believes that they shall follow.
