[ CW ] Rewrite a popular short story ( fairy tales , aesop 's fables , etc . ) without using any words longer than five letters

Okay so I figured I should at least give my own prompt a try. Here is an attempt at my all time favorite short stories in /u/RimoBentley's. I fear I did n't nearly do it justice... 
 
 
 There was a man at sea for days, 
 He saw not the land mass in the haze; 
 A light to guide him did seem true, 
 When he did crash out of the blue. 
 
 ***** 
 
 He woke to see a man, Zar, there, 
 Whos guard did carry him up the stair; 
 In house above the open sea, 
 The light, said Zar, was a trap for thee. 
 
 ***** 
 
 Zar told the man he would be the hunt, 
 With only a knife the man ran out front; 
 For hours three the man had fled, 
 And left some traps to make Zar dead. 
 
 ***** 
 
 Zar not dead did chase the man, 
 Off a cliff he did jump, his only plan; 
 Sure that he could do no wrong, 
 Zar went home, the night was long. 
 
 ***** 
 
 From deep sleep Zar did awake, 
 To find the man ’ s death was just a fake; 
 The two did fight for death and life, 
 Then Zar did die by the man ’ s knife.
