One day a terrible storm crept upon the sea, turning it to a boil like a goblin teakettle. And that storm handsome young lad tried to navigator ofthe waters in a wee sailing vessel. But that boat was no match for a giant wave that was upon him. It's smashed that vessel to smithereens as well as the crack and himself might have done.

He would flash that light as a reminder of how they met that fateful night, hoping she would follow it. The silky was heartbroken and no longer sang her melodic tools. Instead, she wailed and cried a boom and cry. Every time a storm came in, it reminded her of the young man she found and fell in love with so long ago. Alas, to this day neither of them has found one another. You might ask me How do I know this? Well, my wee ones having you ever heard the thunder and seen the lightning in a dark and stormy night That be the young man shining his light for his silky And she be the one crying back with the sound of thunder
