[Story] Once upon a time, a dwarf named Dumb lived in a crystal cave. He was a bit of a dull fellow, but he loved to dwell in the dusk. One day, he decided to take a cruise to the crust of the earth. On the cruise, he met a girl who wore a dress of dull colors. She was dumping her dye into the sea. Dumb thought it was cruel, but he crushed on her anyway. He duplicated her dress and wore it as a suit. It was an odd sight, but Dumb felt at home.
