Yet in a surprising twist, the Great One righted the wrongs of that world by providing a river that transformed all who came into contact with it.

What God Wants
Many years ago, a poor orphan advertised her piano recitals in order to raise funds. Posters boldly declared that she was a pupil of the celebrated Hungarian pianist Franz Liszt—a blatant lie.
