Once there was a boy who wanted only one thing: a little bit of knowledge. Where do you find knowledge? From a Grand Master! But the Grand Master wants something first: a carpet. When the boy goes to get one, he discovers: the carpetmaker needs some thread ... the spinner woman needs some goat hair ... the goalkeeper needs a goat ... and so on. "What about me?" each one asks.
Will the boy ever find a way to fill everyone's needs-and get some knowledge for himself? He does!
Mr. Young was born in Tientsin, China, and brought up in Shanghai. He attended art schools in Illinois, California, and New York, where he now lives with his family.
