During the course of his travels, Beethro came to learn a great deal about the various creatures in King Dugan\'s dungeon. He was particularly interested in the wraithwings, which he believed were not naturally violent and could even be tamed. So it came about that Beethro captured and domesticated two wraithwings and kept them as household pets. He even trained them to sing sweetly instead of making their usual ugly caw.
One lazy afternoon, Beethro started wondering how fast a wraithwing could fly, and whether one of his pets might be able to fly faster than the other. He decided to find out by racing them. Off they went! It was neck and neck, but the fresh air and exercise were clearly having a good effect: the wraithwings started to sing more wonderfully than ever as they flew.
Unknown to Beethro, he had failed to slay the last roach in a room that day, and it had followed him home. As Beethro proudly watched his wraithwings, the roach closed in for the kill. As it approached, however, it heard the beautiful singing and its roach\'s heart was touched. It decided to ask Beethro if they could be friends after all.
Beethro\'s reply:
\"A wraithwing race
How sweet they sound;
That\'s made a roach like me...\"
