    Once upon a time there was a man named Martin Og who was an expert card player. One night as he was coming home from a card party he heard a noise which sounded like a piper's band. He looked around him and suddenly he saw a line of dwarfs carrying pipes on their shoulders When Martin saw them he fainted. Next morning at about six o'clock Martin landed home.
