	Once upon a time there was a Prince named Apollo who, through no
	fault of his own, was cast under a spell by an evil witch, named
	Sheba. The curse was that the Prince could speak only one word each
	yahren. However, he could save up the words so that if he did not
	speak for a whole yahren, the following yahren he would be allowed
	two words.

	One day he met another beautiful Prince named Starbuck, with ruby
	lips, golden hair and beautiful bright blue eyes. He fell madly in
	love. With the greatest difficulty he decided to refrain from
	speaking for two whole yahrens so that he could look at Prince
	Starbuck and say, "My darling." But at the end of the two yahrens he
	wished to tell Prince Starbuck  that he loved him. Because of this he
	waited three more yahrens without speaking (bringing the total number
	of silent yahrens to 5). However, at the end of these 5 yahrens he
	realized that he had to ask Prince Starbuck to marry him. So he
	waited ANOTHER four yahrens without speaking.

	Finally, as the ninth yahren of silence ended, his joy knew no
	bounds. Leading the lovely Prince Starbuck to the most secluded and
	romantic place in the beautiful royal garden, Prince Apollo heaped a
	hundred red roses (thorns removed) onto Prince Starbuck`s lap and
	knelt before him, taking Starbuck`s hand in his, he said huskily, "My
	darling, I love you. Will you marry me?"

	Prince Starbuck tucked a strand of golden hair behind a dainty ear,
	opened his beautiful bright blue eyes in wonder, parted his ruby
	lips, and said, ....."Pardon?"
