<the story>
The Monkey King:
There once was a jibby nib mallet all shiny and divine.
But the ookin' bell it was meant for could never be mine.

The mogu had stolen the bell, what is a hozen to do?
Think of the horror if those dookers stole the mallet too.

Mogu are not bright, they fail to see things for what they are.
The Monkey King broke the mallet and sent the pieces afar.

My Hozen took the pieces and scattered them across the lands,
Disguised as "nifty nibs", never to fall into mogu hands.

The head, the handle, these two must be made as one.
Combined with evil's ointment, the bell's evil can be undone.

If "Garrosh" has the bell than/then there is only one thing to do,
I'll send for my hozen friends, the mallet must be made anew.
