A fable can have people, animals or things as protagonists (e.g. the fable of the crock pot and the iron pot), the important thing is that every fable has a moral in the end. My intention, however, was to create a small "confucian"(-ish) story that could be interpreted and finished in many ways

Fables don't have to have animals, although a lot do, the characters here aren't supposed to be animals, sorry its a bit confusing, I might have tried too much in this one :)

You did not try too hard... you found wisdom, and a lesson. That is a fable.
Of course we can sit and wait. We can brood and harbor ill thoughts. Meanwhile, the world moves on. Our loss.
Well done, @calluna.

Do not worry.. I like the story
