- Abstract
- en_US Eight fables, with a T of C at the book's end. The author and artist take good liberties with the fables. In BC, the cat catches seven mice with one paw. Moral: "Fácil es abrir la boca. Difícil, hacer las cosas." Wolf and dog engage in conversation about their ancestors, with the watchdog rather arrogantly explaining that his part of the family got civilized when they were domesticated. He invites the wolf to come and eat at his house "with four paws." The moral asks who chose better, the wolf or the dog? Wolf to goat on the cliff has a great line: "Ea, ea, ea! Qué dulce esta el pasto en la pradera!" FC is told with grapes as the prize. 46 may present the best illustration for the key moment in FC. The crow looks down not quite realizing yet what he has done; the fox jumps up with two outstretched paws to catch the grapes. The mouse in LM is blinded by the sun and so gets somehow onto the lion's back. An unusual illustration shows the mouse caught in the reflections in both of the lion's eyes (56). The editor plays with words like "menos" on 9, making the later letters of the word smaller than the earlier ones. The art work is lively but rather predictable. A sample illustration might be on 34, as the three bulls look askance at each other, while the lion waits under a nearby tree. The endpapers show the goat looking down from his cliff.
