Chinese Fable
Playing the lute to a cow

A man sat near his cow playing a graceful melody on his lute for her. As he played he noticed that the cow simply kept eating grass and did not respond in any way to the lovely music, just as if she did not even hear it. The lute player therefore allowed this tune to evaporate, introducing into its place a tune of the sound of buzzing mosquitoes and the bellowing of a lost calf. The cow immediately pricked up her ears, began to twitch her tail, and slowly moved about with keen interest, almost as though dancing to the tune.
