Samurai:  "Clankety-clank"                        Geisha:  "Help, Help"
Mean Emperor:  "Gr-r-r"                            Dragon:  "Roar-r-r-r"

Back in old Japan in the days of bold Samurai ______  and fair geishas _____
there lived a mean emperor _______ with his daughter, who was indeed the
most beautiful geisha _____ in all the land.  All those who passed by their
castle would see this fair geisha _____ sitting by the hour in the window
longing to be set free.

It was told about the land that this fair geisha ______ had a curse put on her by
a wicked witch, that if a dragon ____, which lived in the woods close by, were
to look upon her she would suddenly become the most ugly geisha _____ who
ever lived.  That is why the mean emperor ______ kept her locked within
the castle.

Of course, after hearing this, all the brave samurai ____ for miles around came
to that part of the land, hoping to kill the terrible dragon ____ , and thus save
the fair geisha ______ from a terrible fate.  Night and day the brave samurai __
searched for that terrible dragon ____ .  Each one hoped to save the fair
geisha _____ and take her away from the castle of the mean emperor ______.

One day there came a gallant samurai ____ who was much wiser than all the
rest.  He decided that since the dragon _____ was nowhere to be found that
maybe there was another reason why the geisha _____ didn't come out.  He
rode his horse as swiftly as he could and charged at full speed right through the
door of the castle, sending debris and rubble flying in all directions.

It seems the geisha _____ couldn't find the door because the castle was such a
mess, and that is why she hadn't come out.

The brave young samurai _____ bounded up the stairs and carried his fair
geisha ______ down and put her on his horse.  They rode away from the castle
of the mean emperor _____ and left the other samurai _____ still searching
for the terrible dragon _____ which didn't even exist.
