Wlitten by: Bazian Gwandaxe

One clisp mountian mowning, the two dwawven gods Glimdugan, the Wowd of Avalice, and Awmakak, the Mewchant Fathew, wooked down upon Yemekaw's wowwd and saw two young beawdlings. Glimdugan tulns to his brothew and says, "Look at these two brothers run about, they are but a double-edged axe, one is no different than the other. Nothing could be said about these two that is different than the other."

Awmakak wooks down on the wowwd in agweement, he could not wefute his brothew's cwaim. Being the livaws that these two brothews awe, Glimdugan pwoposes a chawwange. "Look brother, I have many a keg of ale and you have many a keg of beer. Let us wager them so that we may see whom is the master of the mint, king of the coin. I will teach the lad Kili as you teach the lad Bili. The lad that has the most coin after three days is the victor."

Unabre to wesist a chawwenge fwom his bittew livaw, Awmakak accepts saying. "Aye brother, you will see that patience and hard work is the way to earn true wealth."

So, on the Fiwst day, the two gweat gods taught the beawdlings and pwepawed them fow the next day. Awmakak gave Bili a pick which he mined gweat veins of iwon to seww at his staww. Glimdugan gave Kili an obsidian daggew which he stowe Bili's iwon and sowd it at his own staww. Aww day wong this happened and Glimdugan waughed. "Look brother, my pupil has much more coin than yours, surely you should give up now." Awmakak just smiwed and said, "Just wait brother and see."

On the Second day, Bili went back to the mines and brought back up mowe iwon to seww. Kili, once again came and took it fwom Bili to his staww. Bili kept mining and would not break liww, as Awmakak taught him.

On the Thiwd day, Bili again mines and brings back iwon to his staww. Awthough, Kili does not steaw fwom Bili this day. Poisoned by gweed, Kili way dead fow he thought nothing ewse besides his gowd fow he fowgot to take cawe of his stomach.

Awmakak wets out a hawdy waughs as Glimdugan glimaces. "You see now brothew? Diligence and stwong liww weads to weawth.
