Abstract

en_US The introduction gives good background. A year earlier, a class designed and published a booklet as a Christmas gift. It contained sayings. This year they are putting together sayings and fables and doing it in fact in a creative way. They were responsible not only for setting type and producing good linocuts. They set themselves a theme, like The Rivers and the Sea or The Column and the Shadow. Then they create a new story that goes with the theme. The major portion of the 56-page pamphlet then gives one text for each theme. For the theme Two Candles, we read a good story about one candle that saw how it was being used up and let itself be blown out. The other, glorying in its flame, kept going until it became useless. Probably without knowing it, several students arrive at Aesopic fables. For example, given a fat and a skinny mouse as theme, one student tells of the latter's compliment to the former, who answers modestly that one gets along and works hard. Just then the cat comes and the skinny mouse escapes into her hole but the plump one is caught. These are good fables! Wolf asks lamb why he always does what others do. Lamb is insulted with this accusation that he acts out of a herd mentality and so goes into the woods with the wolf. There the wolf devours the lamb. An elephant meets a mouse and boasts of his size and strength. The mouse leads the elephant into a swamp and says to him as he is sinking You are getting smaller and smaller. There is a good linocut illustration for this fable and for many others. What fun! Die Bilder wurden von der 8. - 10. Klasse in Linoleum geschnitten. OSO is all over the school's website, but I have not figured out yet what the last letter stands for.
