Back when tigers smoked...

Long ago when the stones were still soft...

When fleas were barbers, camels were brutes; I was shaking my mother's cradle. Once upon a time, once upon a time...

Long long ago, behind seven hills, behind seven forests...

There was one, there wasn't one, under the azure sky, besides god, there was no one...

A long time ago, back when the animals still spoke...

From the times when dogs were tied with sausage strings...

Back when pigs flew...

Back when horse bit iron...

It was, or was not, in ancient times, in previous aeon and era...

When birds made nests in old men's beards and pigs walked around with forks in their quarters asking "who wants pork?"...

Once there was where there wasn't...

Back when dragons used to walk...
