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

THE WOLF AND THE CRANE

A Wolf had been feasting too greedily, and a bone had stuck crosswise in his throat. He could get it neither up nor down, and of course he could not eat a thing. Naturally that was an awful state of affairs for a greedy Wolf.

So away he hurried to the Crane. He was sure that she, with her long neck and bill, would easily be able to reach the bone and pull it out.

"I will reward you very handsomely," said the Wolf, "if you pull that bone out for me."

The Crane, as you can imagine, was very uneasy about putting her head in a Wolf's throat. But she was grasping in nature, so she did what the Wolf asked her to do.

When the Wolf felt that the bone was gone, he started to walk away.

"But what about my reward!" called the Crane anxiously.

"What!" snarled the Wolf, whirling around. "Haven't you got it? Isn't it enough that I let you take your head out of my mouth without snapping it off?"

Expect no reward for serving the wicked.

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.

Dscript, or Dimensional Script, is a 2d writing system. There are several approaches to 2D writing systems, Dscript is al alphabetical 2d writing system.

A 2D alphabetical writing system allows the "strings of letters" to branch, this is achieved by "forking" of the string or by placing letters inside of each others. When a reader approaches a "fork in the road" when reading a 2D script, he much choose a path to read first. Dscript reading rules are flexible, but I normally use top -> bottom, left -> right, Outside -> inside, shortest side chain to longest side chain ( this means when a fork is reached, first the shorter branch is read, then the reader proceeds to continue down the longer ).
