Description When found in the presence of bad company one is often judged alongside said company. This is the lesson taught by the story "The Farmer and the Stork". It is one of the classics in Aesop's Fables.

The text of the story is written in Dscript, Dimensional Script, which is a 2D writing system allowing the letter of each word to be merged together into single "alphabetical symbols" or "alphabetical glyphs".

The original text of the story is as follows:

THE FARMER AND THE STORK

A Stork of a very simple and trusting nature had been asked by a gay party of Cranes to visit a field that had been newly planted. But the party ended dismally with all the birds entangled in the meshes of the Farmer's net.

The Stork begged the Farmer to spare him.

"Please let me go," he pleaded. "I belong to the Stork family who you know are honest and birds of good character. Besides, I did not know the Cranes were going to steal."

"You may be a very good bird," answered the Farmer, "but I caught you with the thieving Cranes and you will have to share the same punishment with them."

You are judged by the company you keep.

Each "word glyph" in this example is optimized for a set standard or writing dimensions and pen stroke conservation. There are many many possible form, shapes and variations for each word.

Dscript is a "constructed script". Constructed scripts are invented writing systems. "invented writing system" is most commonly intended to mean "invented in a single generation as opposed to evolving over many generations", natlangs(Natural Language) are what we call languages that have evolved for many generations, conlangs(Constructed language) are what we call the new ones.

Dscript 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.
