| "I
had a dream last night," Hamun told Giben, "in which I was terrified by a hideous
dragon. What do you think it means?" "Do
a drawing of the dragon," said Giben, "and bring it to me." Later
Hamun brought a drawing of the dragon and showed it to
Giben. "This
is excellent!" exclaimed Giben, holding the drawing upside-down as he examined
it carefully. "The draftsmanship is exquisite; but it doesn't seem hideous or
terrifying to me." "Of
course not," said Hamun crossly, "if you look at it like that. You
must turn it up the other way." "Ah,
I see," said Giben. "You looked at it the other way because you
wished to be terrified!" |
