King : Come on, come on, come on, can't we go any faster?
Ferryman : Oh, yes, sir, there is a way...
[gestures for the king to take over the ore]
The Storyteller : Take it, he says, take it, take it... So if you come one day to a lake and there's an island and a ferry goes back and forth rowed by an old sad man, turn around. Griffins live there, you may never get off the boat. For the ferryman was once a wicked king who ignored a prophesy, whose heart was cruel. And nature, my dears, is a wize woman who pays us back, tit for tat.
