Prologue Foratj
Once upon a time there was an old legend called the legend of Mammoth. This was in the world of Foratj, a peaceful, big land which was three big islands; Sarjena of desert, Neraj of forest, Iroto of mountains, and in the middle laid a large city called Letara, Letara of air. Letara was the connection between the three islands. On each island there lived a people; The Sarjena´s, the people of godness, The Neraj´s, the people of wildness, The Iroto´s, the people of spirit, and The Letara´s, the people of kindness.
In Letara, there lived a young boy named Tali.Tali wasn´t like the other children in Letara -- he liked big adventures and old stories. Tali wanted to see the world. He was tired of helping mom all day.
This day, old Retjav was on a visit. Retjav was an old man who was known for walking around Letara in search of places to sleep on...and in return, he tells wonderful stories about big giants and rainbow water. He´s very kind and is Tali´s best friend.
Tali´s mom was cooking terala´s (Tali´s favorite food) and shouted to Tali, "TALI! Retjav is here!"
"I´m coming mom." Tali came running into the kitchen. "Hi Mr. Retjav. I hope you have good story to tell!"
"Hello Tali, I am going to tell you a story you haven´t heard before." Retjav looked very serious and Tali knew that he had to remember this story in his heart.
"What is the name of it, Retjav?"
"The name of it is the Legend of Mammoth.
"Once upon a time ," Retjav stopped with a whispering voice and looked like he didn´t remember what to say "Hmmm, o! Now I know it! Tali, this is a story that has been told by father to son for many, many years, but I do not have any children to tell, so that is why I am telling it to you "
