Once upon a time, in a code forest ...

Guido Stepken
[That phrase made me think: "we will remove BookMorph because it is a giant huge terrible mess. Now if you want multimedia publishing or creation have you look at openSophie? Stef"]

... some funny looking dwarfs were busy removing code ...

That's like walking through a wonderful forest and randomly removing trees or branches, just because the aren't pretty enough or their "copyright" is unclear.

Now you have removed many trees in the forest and replaced them by perfectly looking houses. And you have chased away all that funny animals, that were living in that forest, playing around within that unperfect, wild nature, therefore being motivated to participate to help making wood glades or creating funny things ...

Now, thanks to some replacements of that old roots, the perfect looking houses can move as triple as fast in the wind, which even can blow much faster now, but the rest of the plants in this forest can't compete the wind, so it is planned to remove them completely.

And - yes, the copyright of those new houses is much clearer now. But the wild bear, the badger, the lynx, they still prefer to live in their old caves, giving a shit on who created them in former times, completely ignoring those nice and perfectly looking houses .... that - by the way - can be found everywhere else outside this forest - bigger, greater, much nicer looking and even storm proofed.

And the animals in this forest - being a bit sad about those happenings, they lived happily ever after, hopefully.

Have fun!

Tnx for reading, Guido Stepken

By reading that story, i wanted to write another one, about swamp &
rotten carcasses down there, about poisonous fluids spreading around
it.. and, of course, about snakes & frogs who very like to live down
there and speaking loudly that their swamp is the best swamp in the
world.
But i'm too busy to write it :)

...but to the rescue of these animals there exists a nature reserve.  
Within this zone no trees are allowed to be cut, even if they start  
rotting. This is where the beetles and other such animals live on ;)
