LE POISSON ET L'OISEAU
A poem by Kim Thúy masterfully illustrated by Rogé.
DESCRIPTION
The story of the fish and the bird was born in the final minute before my rude awakening in a hotel far away. The first image that came to me was that of a little girl who had forgotten to close the door to her pet bird's cage. Close by, I saw the goldfish in his bowl trying to strike up a conversation with the bird. But how could they play together with all the differences that set them apart? How could they come to love each other when they had nothing in common? The answer lies somewhere in the spreading of the bird's wings and the graceful flapping of the fish's gills.
EPIGRAPH
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. Albert Einstein
