"Sleep came to Wagadu for the first time through vanity, for the second time through falsehood, for the third time through greed, and for the fourth time through dissension. Should Wagadu ever be found again, She shall live so forcefully that vanity, falsehood, greed and dissension will never be able to harm Her."
