Abstract

en_US Here are sixteen short plays for two, three, and four voices. Each has morality to teach, with several questions to highlight the possible lessons. They are all, as far as I can tell, original stories. The morality, as well as the tone, may be typical of the 70's, when the book was published. The Gospel bearing of the fables comes through often and clearly enough. I read the first three. In the first, a desperate victim of a mosquito gives in, out of frustration with being mosquito-bitten so frequently, to becoming a turnip. Why? Because you can't get blood from a turnip. The poor turnip gets bored stiff. One of the suggested morals says that it is better to be a person with problems than a turnip without problems. The book nicely repeats a given playlet as often as necessary, so that each of the required voices can have his or her own copy of the play's text.
