Nicely done. Instinctively when I decided to write a 'character' story, I subjected all my characters to an Enneagram test ( and an MMPI). Seemed a natural thing to do for someone with a doctorate in psychology ... but I am hooked on using this to build consistent character traits ... of course that remains to be seen. LOL

This is such a fresh take on a classic fable. I love how you gave the boy real depth—he’s not just a troublemaker, he’s someone who wants to be seen.

The story feels personal and emotional, not just a lesson.

I can’t wait to see which fable you do next.

I think I am a four...always wondering if I've said the thing so that it can be heard.
