When these little children grew up, they told the same stories to their children. So it went for many, many years. The stories have been
...put together by a man named Richard Wagner. He put them together in such a way that they make one long and wonderful story. After he had told these stories in words, he told them again in a more beautiful way. He told them in music.

You will think of the little black dwarfs under the river, and you will hear them hammering, hammering upon their anvils. "
