Once upon a time, there was a small brown salamander named Oliver. Oliver really wanted to be an eagle and fly above the trees, but he was stuck in a slimy hole in the ground living as a filthy salamander. One day, a squid named Kate accidentally swam into the stream near Oliver's hole. Kate told Oliver that if he really wanted to be an eagle, he would have to eat yellow seaweed mixed with the water of a melted glacier stirred briskly in the moonlight of the seventh of July. Since he lived nowhere near either the sea or a glacier, and it was the middle of October, Oliver was very very disappointed. So he threw himself into the stream and drowned himself.
