- Abstract
- I have a series, apparently "Series 7," with six pamphlets, each offering a bilingual presentation of a fable. Here the first is a fable I have only otherwise encountered, to my knowledge, in another bilingual set from Thailand! As I wrote there, a leopard hears a couple during a storm speak of "leaking rain" that has killed many people. Hearing a noise, the leopard fears that it is "leaking rain" and hides in the barn. The noise is actually from a thief trying to steal the ox. He mistakes the leopard for the ox. He rides off on the leopard's back and they soon part, each shouting "Help!" The ugly bearded cheek of the thief stands out even on the cover, which offers various images from this fable. The art is dramatic comic-book art, one panel to a page. The back cover shows the six items in this collection. There seem to be two different speech "bubbles" of Thai on each page but only one of English. What is that second non-English bubble about?
