"The narghoulim comes! Snickety-snack - with jaws of steel and claws a'clack! Gnash - Gnaw - Bite - Thraw! Here it comes over the mountains, child. Here it comes over the mountains. The narghoulim comes! The narghoulim comes! Tumble down, scamper past. Find your love - enfold and clasp. Dripity-drop, the waterclock stops. There we go over the mountain, child. There we end over the mountains." - Finni nursery rhyme.
