Fairytales #4

by

Seonjo was the fourteenth son of farmer parents and as soon as he could toddle was sent out to work on the farm. But they'd find him cuddled contentedly next to a sleeping cat or watching as the other cats stalked & destroyed the old field rats. As he grew older he spent his days scratching pictures of them in the scorched Korean earth around the farm. Tactical tufts of grass incorporated into his masterpieces.

"Milk the goats!" His Father chided and rubbed away his pictures with a frown; exasperated by the boy he decided to send him to school.
