Abstract

en_US This is an oversized pamphlet (about 8 x 11) containing 16 pages. In style it differs from the other four in the series. It does not have two pictures giving the two main characters on its title-page and does not have a final page on Aesop and fable. The integration of picture and text is different; for example, there are no borders on the pictures. The typeface seems different. The story here is Perry #94, The Father and His Two Daughters. A man who had two daughters gave one of them in marriage to a gardener and the other to a potter. On a visit to the gardener's wife he inquired how she and her husband were getting along, and his daughter told him that they were comfortable and had all they needed, except that just now they were praying for rainy weather to make the vegetables grow. After that the father visited the other daughter, the potter's wife, and made similar inquiries of her. She said that everything was all right with them so far, but they were earnestly praying that the sunny weather would continue so that their pottery would be baked. On hearing this her father said, If you want fair weather, and your sister wants rainy weather, to which of your respective prayers shall I join my own? The art, though different in style from the art in the other four booklets of the series, is simple. If I understand this version's presentation of the story, the key image might be the last: a perplexed father wonders what prayer he should make. I cannot say that I am clear on what the two occupations are here, perhaps wine-growing and offering entertainment and food at an outdoor restaurant? There is another booklet apparently similar in style to this one, which I do not have: The Woodchopper and Hermes.
