Description
This example is one of Aesop's Fables. The story is "The frogs and the ox". The full story and original image are from "Aesop for Children" (1919), a public domain translated version of Aesop's Fables.

The Dscript symbols were designed for space compression. Each word has many possible word forms. I made very little effort to add any logographic elements to the glyphs. The pen was rather thick, it is a brush pen. I like the brush pen because it allows a smother draw and scans in better, but the lines are a little thick.

THE FROGS AND THE OX

An Ox came down to a reedy pool to drink. As he splashed heavily into the water, he crushed a young Frog into the mud. The old Frog soon missed the little one and asked his brothers and sisters what had become of him.

"A great big monster," said one of them, "stepped on little brother with one of his huge feet!"

"Big, was he!" said the old Frog, puffing herself up. "Was he as big as this?"

"Oh, much bigger!" they cried.

The Frog puffed up still more.

"He could not have been bigger than this," she said. But the little Frogs all declared that the monster was much, much bigger and the old Frog kept puffing herself out more and more until, all at once, she burst.

Do not attempt the impossible.

Dscript is a constructed script, it was originally a "directional constructed script", this means it could be written both vertically and horizontally with a single pen stroke design. Over time it evolved into its current form, a "dimensional constructed script" which allows the "letter strings" of the directions script to be wrapped up, contorted, forked, and even have letters placed inside of other letters.

There are plenty of materials and resources available to help learn Dscript.
