Abstract

en_US This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the third level, 48 pages in length. "Based on the fable by Aesop." As is usual in this collection, the first two pages introduce the characters, starting with Sam and concluding with "and (maybe) a wolf." After the first supposed joke, "the villagers were angry, but Sam just laughed." "That was funny," he says. "No it wasn't" comes the answer. At the second "joke," some people didn't believe him, "but most ran up the hill to see." At the third, most did not believe, but a few ran up the hill. The real wolf kills some sheep, and the others run away. Sam asks "Why didn't you believe me?" "You always told lies before." "Never again," Sam says. The Gordons' illustrations are again engaging. The special emphasis on eyes enlivens their work! After the story, there are four pages on this story, Aesop, and fables.
