Codey's Fables - Updated!

[blue]

Codey's wonderful fable, "All We Like Sheep," is now online. He has a few more fables planned. Personally, I hope he'll put them all together and seek a publisher.

I had fun doing the illustration too, and editing.

This makes me want to read more American Indian folklore and history, too. I hope each one of you will do so.

Enjoy reading his fable. It has more than one important point to make.

A great story! I really enjoyed it.

I'm very tempted to print it off and read it to my boys when we do book reading tonight.

Thanks guys

You score again, kid! Nice job... you might share a bit of how you happened to write the story with our readers...

[Codey]

you might share a bit of how you happened to write the story with our readers...

Well, mainly I used the computer but I did do a little by hand.

Seriously tho, I have a lot of time to just think and I don't waste time thinking about girls and, since I have a partner, I don't spend toooooo much time thinking about other guys. :D

I have an "adopted" little brother, who I write some things for as little gifts. You may have heard about him...he's Billy from The Adventures of Billy, a Kid. Last summer, I wrote a series of four fables for him as a 6th Bitrthday gift.

Due to a computer mis-hap, I lost a bunch of files and he'd lost his printouts. I have back-up discs of them but who knows wth I put them so I decided to redo them from memory.

This first one is the most complex. I tried to fit in ideas about diversiitiy, greed, ecology and the relationship between polititicians and their "sheep".

I was trying to make it a story with appeal for kids and with a message as well. I'll be doing the other three along with a fifth I've decided on over the next few weeks.

Graeme, that's one of the nicest compliments any writer could ever get -- that you wanted to share the story with your kids, with someone else.

I know a couple of comments about the next two fables, and possibly a third. But that's all I know yet about who or what I'll be drawing.

Codey-

That was great! I can't wait to see the rest. :thumbright:

You and Blue make a great team.

Codey's Fables - Updated!

1. All We, Like Sheep - from earlier this year;
   
2. The Nature of Bear - NEW!
   

These fables have more to say than you might think from a quick read-through. Each tale is independent, with a connecting story between the storyteller and his grandson, outside the fables themselves.

Rather than giving a summary or saying what I think they mean -- read them yourself and think on them a while. Oh, and I'm sure they don't mean exactly the same to me as they do to Codey.

Note: This thread was formerly titled, [ All We Like Sheep - by Codey ], but I updated it so it'd refer to all the fables, and so discussion could be central in this thread.
