- Abstract
- en_US This large-format pamphlet presents three of La Fontaine's fables for coloring. TB uses cave men; the prose story here follows La Fontaine's version in having the two men sell the bearskin before they have hunted and killed the bear. The two encounter the bear nez à nez and drop their clubs. The bear here chases one man up a tree. This version does not include La Fontaine's closing joke, namely that the tree-climber asks what the bear had said to the traveler who pretends to be dead, and that the latter answers that the bear advised him not to sell skins of bears that are not yet killed. MSA has a fine set of matching illustrations on the left for the various stages of the tale. The Cobbler and the Banker contrasts a musical staff with a set of (Canadian and US?) dollar signs. In each case, La Fontaine's verse text follows the presentation of the story.
