One day an owl as white as winter perched in a nearby tree. "I should like my story to be woven out of clouds," said the owl.<br />"As you wish," said the weaver. The owl brought the woman strings of clouds as round as pearls, but every time she tried to weave them in and out, they would dissolve as quietly as dew upon the grass. The owl blinked his great eyes."Perhaps we should add some moonlight," he said, "the kind that shimmers on the water."<br />"As you wish," said the weaver. But though the owl brought baskets of jeweled moonbeams, worth more than the king's own crown, the story's cloth would not take shape.<br />"I do not understand," said the owl. "I have chosen beautiful things for the weaving of my story." "Ah," said the woman."But sometimes the cloth will pattern itself whether we will or no. You must bring everything, things chosen and things not." The owl flew over mountains and through valleys. He gathered jade, green as ginko leaves, and raspberries, red as blood. He flew past peaceful villages and countries ravaged by war, and when he returned will ALL things that he found, the weaver smiled. "These will do," she said. She took the things the owl had brought-threads of sunlight fine as silk and cobwebs gray as skulls-and wove them all together into a cloth. And when the owl pulled his story round him, it was so full of gladness AND woe, so beautiful and strong, that when he stretched out his new-made wings, people thought he was an angel hovering in a breathless sky." --V.G.<br /><br />Remember: It takes a lot to make a "Beautiful Person."
