There was a lady.

There was a man, his name was James.
There was a lady, her name was Lily.

There was a child.

There was a man, he had a son.
There was a lady, she had a son.

There were three. Was, were. There were two people; there is still a boy.

There is a child, his name is Harry.
Was, was, were. The child could bear those words no longer.

There is a child, and he flips through a book.
And in the book, there was a man.
And there was a lady.

And the boy could bear it no longer.

Was, was, were."
