Abstract

en_US Twenty-two stories, including some well-known fables and a number of aetiological tales. There are simple black-and-white designs added on to text pages and lively full-page color inserts. Among known fables are TT (9), Plop! (30; this version is about, not the end of the world, but the simple declaration Plop is coming! ), The Rabbit's Revenge (33; about showing the lion his own reflection in a well), and The Fox Who Pretended to Be King (37; this version adds a message to mother that first gives the indigo king away as a normal fox). The Tiger Finds a Teacher (78) is about the cat who keeps one trick from her dangerous pupil, namely how to climb a tree. The Water-Buffalo and the Tiger (85) is the well-known story of three bites for three butts. Why White Rabbits Have Long Ears and Pink Eyes (93) is something of a tar-baby story. One of the best stories, new to me, is The Chachatatutu and the Phoenix (13).
