Butterfly; Stork and I each placidly owned up to the pictures we made for the

storyteller; may he rest in peace。 Afterward; only the horse; an exquisite horse;

remained unclaimed off to the side; its head lowered。 Believe me; I didn’t even

realize that a horse had been drawn。

“You  weren’t  the  one  who  made  this  horse?”  said  Black  like  a  teacher

holding a switch。

“I wasn’t;” I said。

“What about the one in my Enishte’s book?”

“I didn’t make that one either。”

“Based on the style of the horse; however; it’s been determined that you’re

the one who drew it;” he said。 “Furthermore; it was Master Osman who came

whose  shadows  roamed  the  walls  like  ghosts;  were  my  brethren;  and  how  I

loved them! I was delighted to be a miniaturist。

“Could you appreciate your good fortune as you gazed at the great works of

the  old  masters  for  days  on  end  with  Master  Osman  at  your  side?”  I  asked

Black。 “Did he kiss you? Did he caress your handsome face? Did he hold your
