The story of Wanderer



Once upon a time, there was a man named Wanderer, who was standing on the edge of a deep chasm. He longed to get to the other side, so he, being a clever sort, decided to build a bridge.

His bridge needed raw material, so Wanderer climbed down into the chasm and gathered some chaos and carried it back up with him. Using the chaos, Wanderer began to construct words, sentences, and paragraphs, and soon his bridge began to take shape.

Sometimes Wanderer would get stuck and have to go back and fix some things in the structure of the bridge that weren’t hooking together quite right.  

But eventually, Wanderer finished his bridge.

“Not only have I built a bridge for myself,” realized Wanderer, “but I have built a bridge that others can follow, simply by crossing over the span of words that extend from one end to the other.
 
He hoped, too, that in the future other people would build bridges across other chasms. “And perhaps someday,” thought Wanderer, “all the world will be connected.”
