Two sailors desired to set out for the sea.
One began to build his own ship painstakingly.
The other found a luxurious ship already in the harbor.
So he yelled to the other sailor:
Oh you poor fellow, come take shelter in this mighty ship,
for your frail minnow will surely not endure the stormy weather.
But the other sailor kept building even with splinters and blood covering his hands.
And he, after completing construction, set out to sea.
And behold, the storms came and the tides whipped their shelters about.
The minnow endured the rage of the sea, for her captain and architect knew her every control.
But the other sailor perished at sea.
He was thrown overboard and the large ship was tossed back to the harbor.
The minnow, however, was led to calm waters and the sun did not cease to shine upon her prow.
