Flatten directory structure
All content files (*.txt, *.html, *.river) are now in /.
I did this to simplify the compilation step, and to make

an 'assets' folder of some sort.  We'll see.

26_"[Tell us a joke][]" the listeners say to the clown.
27They have gather together in the clearing because they have heard he would be there, and they have heard he knew very funny jokes that were also true.
