What is it you are trying to smooth over Cacian?
Before sunlight can shine through a window, the blinds must be raised - American Proverb
The quoted one I believe comes from Hemingway as an example of one of, if not "the" shortest short story ever written.
Just the grammar is incorrect. No sale is a possible interpretation. But it's trivial.

Your take kind off ruins it; it takes away all the beauty hemingway attached to those words.
Hemingway demonstrates how great a story you can tel with such few words. The reliance on ambiguity is key.
I wrote a poem on a leaf and it blew away...
what are you trying to say?
Alexander I take your point but where is the fun in not experimenting with language.
The whole point of literature is that it is up there for grabs.
I think if I started something a short book with 2pages and someone else came along and readapted their own motives I would be more then chuffed.
How is someone else suppose to think and change?
Isaw that Hemingway version I did not like it so I changed it the way I liked it.
This is perfectely natural thing to do.

I saw the story and I did not think it was ambiguous but more indiscreet , insensitve and manipulative.
So I changed it.
A reader is more then just passive a reader can turnt the table around whenever they feel like it.
If read a book and I think it is offensive, insensitive and ignorant of other peoples' feelings I will take action and rewrite a new version.
I am entitled to it.
