A bird's eye view of the two fairy tale kids looking over the open book; the shorter kid holds the inkbrush tied to the book, and drips ink on the forest floor. The pages they're open to have a bunch of strange writing and a sketch of a CAGE; the bars of the cage are smudged and smeared, and inky footprints lead off the page and into the forest. A fancy scroll caption reads: "This is no ordinary INK!"
This was #2: "Ink." #FolkTaleWeekInk
Maybe writing to someone would help?

Title card with the words "Folktale Week #2 - INK", with a small bottle of ink along the bottom of the artwork, with a pen or paint brush sticking out of the bottle.
A two-panel illustration. First panel on the top right shows the little mouse looking at the lost brown letter. Second panel on the bottom right shows what the mouse sees, a hand-inked address label that is partially smudged leaving only a small portion readable. A tiny stamp with a picture of a evergreen tree is on the top right of the letter envelope.
The story takes an unfortunate turn. Mouse looks at the letter but is dismayed when most of the hand-inked address is smudged!
.
The tree stamp also appears to indicate it's holiday related mail.

Where does this letter go? Who should he ask first?

I'm not sure Hanzel und Gretchen ever squabbled although siblings often doo. These tools of storytelling can squabble once in a while too✒

For the second day of the @folktaleweek.bsky.social I bring the diety Thoth, Egyptian god among other things of writing. On a writing tablet, on which he writes down the thoughts, words and deeds of human beings, to weigh them in his balance. #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2023 #folktaleweekink
Day 2 of #folktaleweek and the story continues!
“I reached a river, it was made of INK”.

As the boy’s day of departure drew nearer, the swan grew sicker. Her mind and soul were as sharp as ever, but her body was failing. The boy had an idea. It was tradition for a sailor to have a special tattoo before his first long voyage. Often this would be an anchor, but he chose something else. At the instant the ink dried the swan drew her final breath. There was a moment of still silence as the boy held her limp body to his heart and wept. A moment later the swan tattoo began to move. “When do we leave?” she asked, with a twinkle in her ink-black eye.
Illustration of a young man kneeling over a dying swan in sorrow. He has a lively swan tattoo on his back.
