                                                                               A Big Reward                                                          
Once a hungry wold was devouring his prey . in a bid to finish it quickly he swallowed a big bite of flash but a bone also went in and got stuck in his throat. it hurt him very much.so he decided to go to a crane to help him.he said, well dear friend,i am in a great trouble please pick out the bone in my throat. the crane was afraid least the wolf should bite off his head. but the wold assured him of safety and a big reward besides,for the service.
At last the crane agreed to do the needful. it put its long beak into the throat of the wolf and pilled out the bone. the wolf was very happy now. the crane demanded his promised reward for his service. the wold, at once said,:isn't it a big reward that i have not bitten your head when it could not escaped from my teeth the hoped away  disappointedly.

How am I supposed to know that? Maybe, go on that website that Carnifex linked, log onto the account that posted the story on that site and post a comment under that story saying you are @Arham... (ASIA1) from the Asia 1 server in GGE.

Because if you first wrote that story, it would probably be your account who posted the story in that website.

It’s like living in a light bulb, with the leaves
Like filaments and the sky a shell of thin, transparent glass
Enclosing the late heaven of a summer day, a canopy
Of incandescent blue above the dappled sunlight golden
on the grass...

I even put the time in to put capitals ;)

Finally! I can log in to my account again! Now I can participate.

Speaking of participating, personally the first place reward is worth less than the other rewards... Oh and I have accounts on two servers, I suppose rewards would go to my AU 1 server, no?

1st place - Appearance item of players choice (Build Item) + community deco + 30k Rubies
2nd place - Community Deco + 30k Rubies
3rd, 4th, 5th place - Package of veteran horrors + tools +10k rubies each

I guess you've been gone so long you lost the ability to count? Rough.

Let me help you out, then.

1st place gets the reward from 2nd place as well as any appearance item they choose. Pretty sure that's better than only getting the deco + rubies. Or am I missing something?

Or do you actually think 300 vet horrors and 100 shield walls and 10k rubies is better? lol

This event is only worth it for the build item. I'm not going to participate because I suck at creativity. I'm only good at counting, being an asshole, and burning/breaking/hurting things.

LMAO
. Damn you're old then.

Phaedrus wrote that in the early years of CE. In fact, the writing you shared is specifically found in the 1887 translation of Phaedrus’ fables, by Henry Thomas Riley and Christopher Smart. I should note, that translation was written around 1900 years after the actual fable was.

I recognized it by the second line...

Could be. Never been good at maths. I'm almost surprised father hasn't died of shame, he was a maths wizard in his time.

However I'm pretty sure the introductory post has been subsequently edited!
