In this parable about the Buddhist value of keeping an equitable spirit, a carpet weaver keeps working steadily at his loom, unfazed by news both good and bad. The illustrations' changing hues reflect the carpet weaver's changing fortune, until the final illustration of a finished carpet in vibrant colors shows elements of the story in an ordered pattern. No source notes are included.
