Abstract

en_US This booklet seems related to The Donkey in the Lion's Skin: An Aesop's Fable though this booklet is in a slightly different format and seems to be from Rigby PM and not Rigby PM Plus. The date and artist are also different: 1998 and Naomi Lewis here versus 2001 and Pat Reynolds there. Like that booklet, this was originally published in Australia by Nelson Thomson Learning. This is a small (6¾ x 8¼) portrait-formatted pamphlet of 32 pages. In this version, young Josef is helped by his father and other village men when he calls for help. When they see no wolf, he says that the wolf went away when it heard them coming. The pattern repeats on a second day. By the third day, they grow angry with Josef. They assure him that they will not respond again. On the fourth day, a whole pack of wolves shows up. Though the rest of the town simply ignores Josef as he runs among them, his father goes up to the flock with him. There they see that most of the sheep have been killed. Josef feels sad and sorry. The illustrations here may be especially helpful for showing the townsfolk, their occupations, and their reactions to Josef before, during, and after his lying episode. The text is followed by the same story in the form of a drama, with nine parts to be played. I had asked of the DLS reader whether there might be other fables in the series. Here is something of an answer.
