Abstract

en_US There are six bilingual stories here. None is really a fable. The first two stories are colorful fictional stories dealing with Cinco de Mayo and Mexico's Independence Day, September 16th. Each takes a small story as a window on the important events represented by the day in question. A small boy happens upon rapidly advancing enemy French troops and quickly reports to Mexican troops, so that they can seize an advantage. A small dog takes on a large wolf and acquits himself well on the very anniversary of Mexican Independence. There are four other edifying stories involving animals. The first is a good example: Sweetie, the Lion that Thought He Was a Sheep (23). Sweetie, confronted with a choice between living like a lion or living like a lamb, chooses the latter. The lions who had presented him the ultimatum are caught in a flash flood on the way home, and Sweetie saves them. As a result, they no longer look down on him.
