Flash Fiction #663 -- Master (Drabble)


 

Others called the little lizard a fool and worse. They demanded he stop lecturing them about philosophy and return to good lizard work, like building mud nests and hunting insects.

The little lizard decided on a different path. He built a leaf boat and floated down the Summer Stream. He passed through the forest, fields, and dangerous rapids and finally reached the edge of human land. He abandoned his boat and went to the village.

He met a group of mice who became enthralled with his happy philosophy of life. They soon called him Master.

Master had found his place.
