Yeah...sort of. Still, I think that the artist shouldn't have waited so long, he should have just put all his efforts into making a picture of a gigantic piece of fried chicken.

Point of the Fable: Art Takes time, so don't be Impaitent

Nice Fable KL, Where did you find it?

Rapi-Toa of Elements

Neat little story...but I wouldn't take the moral too seriously. Reproduced especially for you, from the other side of the world, comes a story from a different perspective...

'In a Certain Village lived a rich Merchant, and he had to him born a son. When he had received a large amount of money, he went to a local craftsman to have a cradle made for the child.

 

'Little did he know that the Craftsman, a stern perfectionist, had made a vision in his head of the ideal cradle as soon as word had reached his ear that the Rich Merchant had a son. So when the Merchant came to him, he said, "In a Week your cradle will be ready".

 

'When the Merchant returned, the Craftsman pretended to be bashful, and lied that he had not yet received the wood to make the legs, when in fact the Cradle was more-than-ready, and he had been inspecting it night and day for flaws. "Coe back next week," he said.

 

'And so the Merchant returned week after week, and the Craftsman made more excuses, until eventually the child was too old to sleep in anything but his very own bed.

 

'And years passed.

 

'And the child, now an even more prominent Merchant, married a fine young woman and fathered a daughter. And after she had been blessed, his old father said to him, "Years ago I commisioned a cradle from our local craftsman for you. He never completed it. It should be done by now."

 

'When the Young Man went to the Craftsman's house, he told all he knew to the three sons of the Craftsman. Immediatley, they led him into a room where the feeble old Crafstman sat, feverishly working at the most beautiful Cradle known to Man.

 

'And when he was asked for it by the very man it had been created for, he replied, "Young Man, You and your Father do not understand: I am an Artist. I take ime with my work.

 

' "And I will Permit You Two to rush me." '

Moral: Don't be a perfectionist. Life is too short.

This is just my apology for not finishing the next Crossroads Chapter - I keep having to correct it!

I like the fable, roosters are awesome.

It's a good story, but I'm afraid I'm hopeless with AC13. Maybe I would have finished in time if I had practiced drawing roosters...

That's a pretty cool fable. It took me a while to draw the perfect Bionicle set, too.
