Abstract

en_US Award Publications had already published a pamphlet of these two stories illustrated by Biro in 2001. Now it comes out in a large print edition meant for children. The size is the same (8½" x 9½") but the print is larger. The former story here may or may not work. It tells of the monkey who wanted to learn how to catch fish and so tried to imitate the fishermen who spread a net, only to get tangled in the net. The monkey is told by the rescuing fishermen that he needs to learn about fishing before he does it. In the end, the monkey realizes that he does better catching and eating coconuts. In the final scene of SS, notice the broad grin on the farmer's face and the scowl on the donkey's face. In fact, Biro's facial expressions are excellent throughout this tale. Note the change from "Ass" to "Donkey" in the title and text of this second story.
