Abstract

en_US Here is, I believe, the first Zeri Fable that I read. I think it was thus this book that led me to buy others. It is a curious piece of work. It presents a highly reflective fable. The fox challenges the bear, who has caught a big fish, by asking if he is aware that in some cultures one is a thief if he has more than he needs. The bear offers several reflections that give a good defense for his action: he is about to hibernate, and there are more hunters than usual. The fox challenges again: in Islam, you should give a percentage of your income to the needy in order to get to heaven. The bear answers that he is happy to survive on earth. Mention of heaven brings up the question: Is there a heaven for foxes? The fox answers: There is always heaven if you believe in it (16). When the bear asks if the fox does something for the poor, he answers that, whenever he finds a lost lamb, he helps it to get to heaven fast. The bear asks Isn't that murder? The fable closes with a difficult expostulation, from whom is not clear: And it has only just begun! What has only just begun? A good deal of factual and interpretative material follows, including a good section on Emotional Intelligence (29): The cascade of questions that follow unmask the true intent of the fox. The questions evolve in such a way that the fable ends in the demise of empathy for the fox.
