"Long, long ago when people spoke languages different from our own, many fine, big cities already existed in the sunny lands of the world. There were towering places inhibited by kings and emperors; there were broad streets, narrow alleyways and winding lanes; there were busy sumptuous temples filled with idols of gold and marble; there were busy markets selling wares from all over the world; and there were handsome, spacious squares where people gathered to discuss the latest news and make speeches or listen to them."
