Tale as it was Told

"I will set down a tale as it was told to me by one who had it from his father, who had it from HIS father, who had it from HIS father - and so on, back and still back, three hundred years and more. It may be history, it may be only a legend. It may have happened, it may not have happened: but it COULD have happened."

Quote by Mark Twain, American Author, 1835 - 1910
