I have told my little tale. Finished.
The Builder of Ability and the Builder of Haste
Two men called themselves one name. This one said: "I am Ndala, the builder of ability." The other one said: "I am Ndala, the builder of haste."
They say: "We will go to trade." They start; they arrive in middle of road. A storm comes. They stop, saying: "Let us build grass-huts!" Ndala, the builder of haste, built in haste; he entered into his hut. Ndala, the builder of ability is building carefully. The storm comes; it kills him outside. Ndala, the builder of haste escaped, because his hut was finished; it sheltered him when the storm came on.
FABLES FROM KRILOF
"Shall not my fable censure vice,
Because a Knave is over-nice?
And, lest the guilty hear and dread,
Shall not the decalogue be read?"
