Listen "Lizzy From The Cave"
Episode Synopsis
There once was an earth dweller called Lizzy. Lizzy was a scared little one. But one day a magpie flew into her cave, a magpie called Shiny.
"Lizzy," the magpie said, "Liz - look for the shinny rocks. They will make you rich, and powerful."
"But they are so bright," said Lizzy. 'They're so bright. So very bright and shiny..."
"Don't be afraid of the light," said the magpie. "You deserve it. All of it. All of it."
"But i don't want to outshine the other dwars," objected Lizzy. "Such a thing is not-done in dwarf society."
"Hahahahaha," the magpie laughed and replied: "There is no such thing as society. There is only the prospect of a more powerful you. Now dig Lizzy, dig."
And lizzy dug.
She dug up all the shiny rocks. And there was none as bright and beautiful as she. There was none as bright .
And she dug. And she sang:
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I crave
I'm still, I'm still Lizzy from the cave
Used to be a coward now I'm pretty brave
No matter where I go I know I dig my own grave
My own master, no one's slave
No matter where I go I know I dig my own grave
My shiny grave
