Abstract

en_US This is an energetic large-format pamphlet 24 pages long and presenting five fables. Part 2 of four parts. The fables presented are Too Late (which features a mouse caught in the narrow crack of a cellar wall); WSC; The Clever Horse (with his name supposedly on his hoof); It's a Donkey's Life (as opposed to a dog's); and TB. The encounter between the horse and the wolf not only occasions the excellent hostile glance of the horse pictured on the cover (and on 13). It also seems to be conceived differently in the text, which has only a final crushing of the wolf's head by the horse's hoof, and in the pictures, which suggest both a kick and a crushing blow. TB features not only the pre-sale of the bear's skin but a fixation on a particular-sized bear which has these hunters passing up many other bears. As soon as they meet the perfect bear, they throw away their spears and run. After a long run, one gets up the tree and the other asks in vain for help in getting up the tree.
