The Dog and the Shadow

It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace.

Now on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook.

As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath.

Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also.

So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.

Blissymbols as a Spoken Language

Image
A naturally more common way of trying to communicate between people who do not share a common language is to draw pictures either by signing with the hands or by drawing with pencil and paper. Blissymbolics has therefore produced a more effective way of bridging the language gap than other attempts at international communication such as Esperanto and computer translators. Of course the setback with using Blissymbols are: 1) They are useless over radio and other voice-only methods of communication. 2) Blissymbols have still not been included in Unicode, and cannot be transmitted as text. I hope what I am doing here will encourage the addition of Blissymbols into Unicode. Whereas other languages both natural and man-made translate words from one language to another by corresponding series of sounds made with the mouth and tongue to another series of sounds made with the mouth and tongue, this language instead corresponds sounds to pictures - something understood more internationally.
