| King Vijayabahu organized his army to fight the Cholas in 1100 – 1101 AD. Since that time, till the end of his reign there were no more threats from any enemies. This led to a great development in the country. The Chulawansa states that King Vijayabahu was a poet, and therefore he helped revive literature and art in the country. Because he was a great lover of poetry, he gathered poets and musicians from all over the country and entertained them at his palace. He was happiest when they performed for him and he even got them to create stanzas for his sons and daughters and even his ministers. |

| D. Glootnoot, reporter extraordinaire, is standing on her toes, peering through the glass window in a sturdy steel door. Her knocking and calling goes unheard by the people inside the laboratory. Watching them, Glootnoot thinks that they don't look quite human. Working in silence, they walk heavily from table to table. Neither their skin nor their features is visible through the thick white overalls they wear. They don't look at each other and Glootnoot can't make out if their lips are moving or not because of the masks that cover their faces. |
