The Impatient Stones
Dry-stone waller HUGH races to finish before the fair, but every stone laid in a hurry hops off the wall by morning and sulks in the grass. Only patient hands make the wall hum and hold.
Why this works on camera
Stones with opinions — stop-motion mischief against wide green hills, craftsmanship as the moral.
What the studio will do
A wall in a hurry
Stones sulking in the grass
The humming moss-crowned wall
