Sivu's Six Wishes: A Taoist Tale

(2) K-3 "The Stone Cutter" parable is here translated to a contemporary setting, one guesses South Africa. Stonemason Sivu wishes he could be a wealthy businessman--then becomes that man. Sivu next becomes the mayor, the sun, a cloud, etc., each time misusing his power. Daly's art, in a rich, clear palette, is quietly stunning, revealing the beauty both in harsh landscapes and mundane streetscapes.
