Abstract

en_US I am still sure that I already have this book! It is a landscape-formatted pamphlet of 32 pages with a map of Cyprus on its pre-title-page. The Punjabi and English are nicely ordered and separated, either on opposing pages, or one above or beside the other on the same page. This is a progressive story. Cockerel finds a note on a dung heap saying that he must become a monk, and hen must become a nun. Others are invited into the group along their way: Quail, Partridge, Fox, Skylark, and Donkey. In the rain, they take shelter in the fox's cave. Fox leaves, and several of the others (Hen, Quail, and Partridge) go to seek after him. Each is eaten up by the fox lying in wait outside the cave. Skylark, likewise apprehended, promises to fly into fox's mouth but instead drops a stone. Donkey promises fox a piece of paper supposedly full of treasure under his horseshoe, but then kicks Fox when he looks for it. There is a glossary of twelve words at the end.
