Abstract: en_US This revenge story is on the borderline of fable. Thoughtless and cruel monkey hurts crab, but friends of crab gang up on monkey in his hut and teach him a lesson. He ends up saying that he would give the world for friends like these. Sengai Ikawa depicts these friends -- chestnut, hornet, and mortar -- by placing the full animal or object where a human head would be. The result is carnivalesque; it suggests perhaps a puppet or marionette show. An earlier owner of this book used some tape or glue, especially on the front endpapers. It still keeps the pages together more than one would want!
