Long, long ago there lived a content and unfortunately very lazy people known as the Woogis in a place known as Woogiland.

All people could do was to tell someone to meet them at a certain place at some point in …

…Woogis no longer had to go without knowing what time it was. The people always used to say the only thing lasting longer than a solid stone sundial was the memory of the old man. An old man gave the people a gift that was used for hundreds of generations after by kings and peasants alike. As Munkachunk said that man's diligence would live on forever and never be forgotten. <Tab/>
