And in the dream, a Chiff and a Fipple came to the serpent, and spake thusly: "Serpent, you make whistles, do you not?" And the serpent replied in the positive. And the Chiff and the Fipple said to the serpent, "and some of the whistle you make are known to all and sundry as "Low D" whistles, are they not?" And the serpent replied in the positive. And the Chiff and the Fipple went to a far corner of the room and conferred, and the Chiff was delegated to return. And the Chiff asked the serpent, "Serpent, why are your Low D Whistles all so quiet? We know they are chiffy by design, and are easy to play by people with small hand, and are well-tuned, but again, why are they so quiet?"
The serpent pondered the words of the Chiff and the Fipple, and called the Fipple over to join the conversation. And the serpent spake thusly: I shall go forth and consider your question, for indeed, it is one I have asked of myself many times in the past, when people would ask you, the Chiff and the Fipple, "What is a decently loud low D whistle to purchase?", and you could tell them not.
And the serpent dreamed again, and in the dream, a whistle arose from the lake in the hands of a maiden, and she did say unto him, "go ye forth, oh serpent, and examine the head on this whistle, which shall be your task to analyze and build!"
And lo, the serpent did take the whistle from the hands of the maiden, who forthwith vanished under the waters of the lake. And the serpent bore the whistle to his workshop, deep in the impenetrable forests surrounding Lawson, and there for many hours did the serpent pore over this magickal whistle, examining its head and workings.
And the serpent's analysis of the Dream Head of the Dreaming Serpent is all but complete, and all shall be revealed of the tale, come December.
And the serpent went to the Chiff and the Fipple, and bade them wait for the coming of the Great Wizard Wisely, who shall, in good time, inform the serpent that the time has come to reveal the secrets of his dreams.
Thus spake the serpent.
