The Train to the Forgotten Shires

By Dale Stubbart

Meet Ambrosia, one of Gitchi Manitou's Helpers.
Ambrosiatells the story of the Beginning.

In the Beginning, Gitchi Manitou created the Earth in which we live.
First Gitchi Manitou created the Creatures of Lights and Mountains.
At this time Gitchi Manitou also created the Shires, including Camelot.

Over time, the Creatures start to forget about the Shires so Gitchi Manitour creates the Train to take them to the Shires so they can better remember them.

Ambrosia is a marvelous story teller, telling all about the Creatures and the other Helpers. Besides loving to talk, Ambrosia also loves to eat and interrupts the story from time to time to talk about what they're eating right then.

Some more memorable quotes:
Fish also came in a variety of styles, but it wasn't as interesting a variety as with Tress. I'm just saying, personally, I don't think three really counts as variety. Fish might argue that point, but I don't think they have a strong case.

Ah, lunch time! Sanjits is it? Surprise, surprise!
You could be so kind as to pass me one of them, pretty please.
And some mayonnaise.
And some mustard.
No, I'm not eating two sanjits. I'm eating one double-decker sanjit.
Now, where was I? Oh yes. The Creatures
Of course there's no Creatures on this sanjit. Don't be daft! Those are my hands!

Now what happened in the Beginning? Oh yes, I remember. No, don't remind me. I remember. It was a long time ago, it just took me a few seconds to call up that particular memory. Yes, I know, you all could tell it better. Yes, you were there too. But I'm telling this story. Somebody else can tell the next one.

In the BEGINNING ...

Now what happened in the BEGINNING? Oh yes, I remember. No, don’t remind me. I remember. It was a long time ago, it just took me a few seconds to call up that particular memory. Yes, I know, you all could tell it better. Yes, you were there too. But I’m telling this story. Somebody else can tell the next one.

In the BEGINNING, GITCHI MANITOU created the EARTH in which we live.

First GITCHI MANITOU created the CREATURES of LIGHTS, MOUNTAINS, TREES, FISH, BIRDS, and MAMMALS.

At this time GITCHI MANITOU also created the SHIRES of EDEN, AGARTHA, ATLANTIS, SHAMBHALA, AZTLAN, and CAMELOT.   

All this story telling is making me tired. Don’t suppose one of you wants to finish telling this story? No, didn’t think so. Oh well, ...

AGARTHA lies deep in the center of the EARTH, so LIGHTS were placed there by GITCHI MANITOU and the HELPERS.  MOUNTAINS were placed in SHAMBHALA. ATLANTIS was surrounded by WATER. The FISH were happiest there. TREES were placed in EDEN. BIRDS were placed in AZTLAN, and MAMMALS in CAMELOT.
