Standing upon the massive drawbridge, you feel the strength of the wood
beneath your feet.  The sheer size of the drawbridge awes you.  You estimate
that it would take forty men to pull this massive piece of architecture up. 
Looking over the edge of the bridge, the moat churns quietly beneath you, an
occasional serpent surfacing, skimming the top of the water.  
A little girl laughs and sings, skipping rope with exotic motions.
