Well, okay. I guess it was just too "deep" for me then, because I
really didn't get it. It also seemed like there was a skip in the
story with the reference to the man and the spider already knowing
each other (but the man forgot). But nothing more was said of it.
Are all of the parables linked in any way? i.e., same characters,
extension of the same story, etc? If they are, then maybe I
won't get from this what I was looking for until they are all
complete. Is this being translated from another language? Maybe
something is just getting lost in the translation and/or culture
shift.
I generally don't have much luck with anything not starting
with "Long, long ago in a galaxy far away..." Literature
gets lost on me ;] Maybe I should just look up the definition
of "parable". If it says, "Forget trying to understand it,
you'll just hurt yourself", then maybe I'm okay <G>
