Hark! But doth my ears perceive the clanging bells that cry freedom?! Murridae rings with such tidings and beckons all those beyond to her happy borders! Come and be merry within the land where many prosper and find joy! For it is here where the sun shines brightest! You cannot declare otherwise!
A young nation born from a tribe overseas–we came seeking new lands and were nary met with disappointment! It is here we built upon vacant soil and from such an effort we made Rodopolis! Castle and king reside there, and from those great walls did we run about and take claim to these empty lands! Why not?! What is empty soil worth of itself–but that we must plant our lives upon it!
And now, miles uncalculated have we driven ourselves from where we began! Cities and towns litter the map, and more seem to come about! Prosperity and invention are evident, for we have already taken to the skies on the backs of ravens! Is not Murridae greater than the Old World?! Aye!
But pray! Do not forget our greatest accomplishment! Be ye blind and deaf?! For years that have come and gone, this country has seen many a marvel, but one cannot breath and fail to admit the truth! For Murridae would be so much lesser a wonder without a certain jerboa named Petalweight! Aye! You heard me! Dare you denounce me?! Nay! You embrace it! I know it and so do you!
Who else among this country carries words as I?! Who else among these abundant patrons has more of a graceful form?! Ha! But not even the Great Jerboa himself could attest such merits! Consider yourselves of times fortune, for you all are my contemporaries! Cry out that you have seen me! Shout that you have heard me! Weep when I am gone! For these are the words of Petalweight, and as a product of Murridae, let it be known that we truly live in a remarkable land!
-Glossary-
Murridae: The country in which Petalweight lives. It is populated by many races of rodents.
Rodopolis: The capitol city of Murridae.
Old World: The people of Murridae originate from a far off land overseas. I never actually gave the place a name. Teehee.
Jerboa: A species of rodent with long tails that have little puffs at the tips. Petalweight is a jerboa.
The Great Jerboa: Jerboas believe there is one god that ultimately represents their interests. The other rodents believe in this god as well but believe him to be one of many gods. They call him Irritum, the god of vanity.
