- Abstract
- en_US Here is a Portuguese version of a pamphlet we have in French. The pamphlet offers delightful cartoons, starting with the front-cover's contrast of the large lion in business suit and overcoat with the mouse in turtleneck and simple pants. First La Fontaine's fable is told in its entirety in Portuguese. Then we start putting the story into a context for today by taking a few lines at a time, creating a contemporary narrative, and giving these lines a two-page picture. Rodolfo, the "riche homme d'affaires," is being chauffeured through the city in his grand limousine as Miguel, the vagabond, tries to cross the road with his shopping cart and fast-food bag. Which of the two has more need of the other? The limo hits Miguel. Rodolfo takes Miguel into his limo, gives him a hot drink, and offers him a job. Miguel goes to work in Rodolfo's car wash. One afternoon, Rodolfo is on his way to the bank with the day's proceeds when he is robbed by a gang of elephants. Miguel responds to Rodolfo's cries for help. His shadow is so frightening that the robbers flee. Miguel now shares Rodolfos desk, apparently as a partner in the firm. The last pages have plenty of good information about both animals and also good questions to ponder. First edition 2007. Second re-impression 2011.
