The size is the same (8½" x 9½") but the print is larger. 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. Biro's style remains engaging. The characters in the first story are Italian or German, to judge by their dress and accessories. The lazy sons lounge around in the shade of a tree. After their father's death and their energetic digging up of the vineyard, they are back to lying around under the old tree until the harvest surprises them by its quality and abundance! In DLS, here titled with "Donkey" rather than "Ass," the lion-skin falls off the ass as he romps about, and he does not even notice the loss. Biro has a great line near the end of the story: "Without the lion's skin, the donkey no longer felt brave." There has been textual editing from 2001 to this 2013 edition.
