    The tale teller, although this man was old
    He spread us cheer by stories he once told
    The winter came without surprise
    This poor old man met his demise
    But one part of him was left
    A part that could never rest
    Even though this time was cold
    The part that’s left was his heart of gold

      His final spot is Jazza's Door.

  • @deadpoolnerd
    @deadpoolnerd 4 года назад +354

    I remember first seeing this in college, we had studied the video as an example in my animation class. It touched us all, and still this story touches me now. It touches me deeper now watching Jazza's channel more, it's like a message of art in any form. Drawings paintings cartoons whatever, it tells and holds a story. And that story is told revealed onto those that need it. And each person gains their own takeaway from the stories told. And in the end even though those that helped shape those stories may be gone, but the message and kindness they spread will not. Great examples of this Stephen Hillenburg, Stan Lee, Walt Disney. As an artist this is my goal, not for fame nor adulation. But just to bring happiness and even just a moment's distraction through the characters I make and the stories I tell. Thank you for this Jazza.

  • @francheskafraginal
    @francheskafraginal 3 года назад +203

    Once upon a time,
    In the quiet of the night...
    In a city ages old,
    In a street with little light,
    In the shadows of the houses
    Of the people of the city,
    Walked a weary, aged man,
    Who looked nothing but a pity
    And though with every shaking stamp,
    His bones would beg him tary,
    He pushed on through bitter cold,
    Not withstanding he was old;
    For he knew he must behold
    That the tales would be told
    That he'd gathered all the world,
    And that he alone now carried...
    So he rested in the square,
    Only one thought in his head,
    Not about his lack of bedding,
    Or the food he wasn't fed,
    Oh no, for in the dead of night,
    The Tale Teller said,
    "I wish to pass my stories on,
    before the day I'm dead..."
    No sooner that he whispered this,
    That sleep had overcome him,
    'Twas as if he never rested,
    For the city square was bustling!
    Loud, their feet and their faces,
    Desperately rushing to go other places!
    Clutter and clambering,
    Stomping and hammering!
    His heart beat in time with their paces
    And while he was soaking
    the ambience in,
    With a merry clap and a big wide grin,
    His glee was soon sequested
    By a little angry jester:
    "I am a jester of the King's court,
    but the Respected asent me as not!
    For they laugh at my face,
    at my height and disgrace me
    Till I get so furiously flushed
    and deliriously angry that they could be
    so inconsiderate!!
    And now I'm completely distraught!"
    The Tale Teller knew the hurt
    This little man was facing;
    They were outcasts in a world
    That could be callous and debacing,
    So they sat together waiting
    While the busy people passed,
    And the Teller was reminded of a tale!
    And he flailed quickly flicking
    To the picture of the sails,
    Speaking fast,
    "Let me tell you of the tale
    of the mouse upon the mast!"
    So the Jester sat with interest
    In the story being told,
    Which described a little mouse
    In a ship upon the sea:
    It was stricken by a storm,
    And completely lost control,
    And the sailors of the ship
    Could only struggle helplessly!
    So the little mouse then climbed
    Upon the sail that was mangled,
    Which the sailors couldn't reach
    For the fury of the storm,
    And he chewed away a rope
    Until the canvas was untangled,
    And all the crew was saved
    By what that little mouse preformed...
    Eyes wide, the Jester realized
    Despite the spite he faced each day,
    His size was not to his demise,
    It was his prize, which made him say,
    "I've had it wrong,
    And all along,
    the people laughed at my frustration!
    I forgot to use the jokes and tricks
    unique to my vocation!"
    So the Jester dashed away
    And soon had formed a congregation!
    For the trick he once neglected
    Now had bought him adulation...
    'Twas bittersweet for the aged man
    To watch the distant dance,
    For he wished to give his precious book,
    But didn't get the chance...
    So he waited in the square
    In the hope a soul would linger,
    But as night set in,
    So did the fear
    He'd have no food for winter...
    One autumn day,
    He once again awoken from his sleeping,
    Beside him sat a widow
    With an empty basket weeping:
    "My children wait at home for me
    to bring them food for dinner,
    but I've nothing left to give them,
    and they're only getting thinner..."
    Without a pause,
    The withered man produced
    His final loaf of bread,
    And turning 'round he held it out
    Then looked her in the eyes and said,
    "There is a tale that is told
    in places far away from here
    about a veiled princess,
    who had beauty that could not appear,
    For she was cursed until one day,
    a broken hearted stranger saw,
    and gave to her his life,
    the curse like ice on Summer's day
    did thaw..."
    The Widow's eye were glistening
    From tears she faught to keep away,
    In disbelief, her grief was melted
    Like the tale's curse that day...
    She gave her deepest thanks,
    And briskly left to
    feed her hungry home,
    But hadn't noticed when the man
    Had tried to give his precious tome...
    Within the days that followed,
    Winter threatened to arrive,
    And the Tale Teller wondered
    If his tales would survive...
    And as he sat in solom thought,
    He noticed in the lonely street
    A soldier who had returned from war,
    Who in his grief fell from his feet:
    A soldier who, on outward glance,
    Looked strong, was badly hurt inside,
    He had returned a broken man
    For in his arms,
    His brother died...
    "It isn't fair..."
    He whimpered,
    "He, to me, was just a boy;
    All we ever shared is gone,
    and with it, all my joy..."
    The Tale Teller sat beside
    The once great man, now broken,
    And all the day had past,
    Where not a single word was spoken...
    And then, the soldier told the aged man
    About his brother,
    And how without him now,
    He would surely not recover;
    The Tale Teller conforted
    The man returned from war,
    And shared his utmost precious tales
    Never shared before...
    When evening came,
    The soldier's heart was peaceful
    As the setting sun;
    With gentle thanks he bid goodbye,
    And went his way when they were done...
    But with a start,
    The aged man forgot
    his book to offer him!
    And then,
    That very moment,
    Winter's bite began to settle in...
    Yes...the cold:
    That bitter cold his skin forgot!
    Crushing and merciless,
    As if a thousand arrows shot him!
    Shaking him with icy chill,
    His freezing hands were holding still
    To stories that would not live on!
    Instead, the Tale Teller's head
    Had no thought left
    but want for bedding,
    Warming hearth or bite of bread,
    Without a shread of which he said,
    "Before the morning,
    I'll be...!"
    Winter passed and Spring arrived,
    As happened every year,
    The city square began
    To once again arouse with cheer...
    When on one day,
    And at one time,
    There happened something queer:
    A jester who had wondered in
    Was searching with contented grin,
    And then a widow from the crowd
    Who did the same, and looked around
    To see a tall man play the hound,
    But in the end was nothing found...
    Each one among these people three
    Emerged for but one reason,
    To thank the aged stranger,
    And to pay him back in kind,
    But it dawned on them in sorrow
    He had not survived the season,
    For the fragments of his stories
    Were but all that they could find...
    And their hearts were hurting deeply
    As they shed a silent tear,
    For they all had been reminded
    Of the stories he had told,
    And although they had
    not received the book
    He tried to share,
    They took with them a tale
    That they each would dearly hold:
    "Once upon a time,
    In the quiet of the night..."
    "In a city ages old,
    In a street with little light..."
    "Walked a kindly Tale Teller,
    With a heart as good as gold,
    Who made the world a better place
    Through tales that he told..."

As I am so grateful for this work. It has been 4 years since I heard it and always stuck with me. Your most recent video, one which you painted a door, brought memories back which I cherish deeply.
    I want to thank you from my deepest heart. This story means so much for me. It brought me through my darkest moments and inspires me daily to be a better person.
    So thank you, thank you so much. For making this and all your works. Thank you for inspiring me and my own stories, thank you for giving me a little joy and a gorgeous tale to always keep in mind.
    Again, thank you so much, you really are a master at your craft. Please, never stop doing it, and I hope to see more of your works, maybe one day one like this again.
    With sincere and warm regards,

    Hey Josiah,
    first of all thank you for everything you do, for the way you entertain us, teach us and make us believe each one of us can make a difference. This story you did there is just an outstanding piece of art and tells much more about you and the way you see life as the Tale Teller could talk about in his tales. In some way i guess its quite obvious that you are that tale teller yourself, if its for your son or for us trying to show us ways to get out of any sad or depressing situation, grabbing your hand to find new motivation and get inspired once again by your refreshing videos over and over again. The way you tell us your stories and help us develope our own is just amazing and i can't thank you enough for it.
    Just wish you all the best and hope you and your family are well and just stay as you are and keep doing what you love, because we can feel that aswell and enjoy it everyday. :)
