Abstract

en_US Here is the 1980 printing of a booklet we already have, but this copy was printed in 1983.The bibliographical information and formatting of information in the lower left corner of the back cover is different, including having only "Impreso en Espana" and not adding "Printed in Spain." Otherwise the two copies are identical. As I wrote then, I would not have thought that Iriarte was easily understood by children. The owl wisely counters the toad's urgings that the bird come out into the open: "On the contrary, you would do better to hide like me!" Alas, we writers should follow the owl but we would rather be conspicuous toads than modest owls. Two rabbits argue whether those pursuing one are dogs or curs -- until they get eaten by whatever they are! Squirrel tells colt that he also moves about deftly, but the colt answers that his movements have purpose. "On puerile trifles of the day, some time and talents throw away." Ant challenges the dismissive flea to match her industry and work. "Maybe some other time." Grasshopper criticizes ox's crooked furrow. Ox: "I do so well generally that my master does not mind an occasional miscue." Captious critics, stop carping about small blemishes in great works (like mine?). The fable about the flautist ass has the great repeating line "por casualidad." Bee criticizes cuckoo's monotonous song. Cuckoo in responses criticizes bee's monotonous cells of wax. Bee's answer: a work of usefulness may lack variety, but works intending to please should show some inventiveness. Frog criticizes hen's cackling. Hen responds that she celebrates laying an egg. Frogs' croaking celebrates nothing. Colorful illustrations typically pit the two characters against each other. The wrap-around cover seems to illustrate a bee and an ant, but there is no such fable here. It seems typical for this series of books that second volumes are marked "2" but first volumes have no number. For longer fables in this volume there is no second illustration.
