three wayside stories

[asakiyume]

One: The Sparrow Entrepreneurs




You can have a shopping cart, but you must pay to rent them.

The rent is cheap though: a few crumbs of bread or bits of cracker will buy you several hours.

Don't forget to pay the ones who live below, too:






Two: The Stream Thorns

In winter, this stream grows giant thorns. They make good swords, I'm told: the blood of those they strike congeals into rubies and garnets.






Three: The Glazier and the Vandal

The glazier and the vandal play a game here. No one else knows the rules, except that when the glazier scores, a window pane appears, and when the vandal scores, a window pane disappears.

Those pictures just make my brain explode now. Must be old age *grin*

Join Tolkien fans worldwide tonight in lifting a glass to The Professor tonight, the 120th anniversary of his birth!

I fully intend to!

I still have them, with my penciled-in transliteration of the words in tengwar along the bottom of the title pages (though I didn't decipher that until after the Silmarillion came out...)
