    EPIGRAPH: "In the very earliest time, / when both people and animals lived on earth, / a person could become a human being. / Sometimes they were poeple / and sometimes animals / and there was no difference. / All spoke the same language. / That was the time when words were like magic. / The human mind had mysterious powers. / A word spoken by chance / might have strange consequences. / It would suddenly come alive / and what people wanted to happen could happen - / all you had to do was say it. / Nobody could explain this: / That's the way it was."
