- Abstract
- en_US This story makes some additions to the Panchatantra story. The merchant becomes a dealer in steel. After his return, he founds a school and kidnaps the daughter of his former associate. There is no mention of the absolute distancing one from another that comes of the case; that separation was particularly poignant in "Kalila and Dimna." The stated moral is "Treat the one who treats you badly in the same way." The page devoted to the moral has a standard form of a mouse eating cheese. There are many snapshot photos of the story clothespinned to ropes across this page. The illustrator places special emphasis on the eyes of the two characters. They become expressive of a wide range of emotions in the course of the story. The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book. There is a page of vocabulary on the inside back cover, with a picture of all six books in the series on the back cover. The pamphlet is twelve pages long, about 7½" x 6¾".
