- Abstract
- en_US This is a standard early-grades exercise-book that uses fables creatively. FG is told entirely through questions, with the answers given in parentheses (14). It has a simple illustration. On 53, the student is given first an illustration of a crow with a pebble in his mouth and secondly a set of words with which to compose the story of CP. The Boy and the Nettles (54) and The Boy and the Frogs (55) are told simply as a springboard for analysis, discussion, and drawing. The Two Goats appears in two versions on 62-3, with a counter story on 75. A skeletal version of LM appears on 63-4 as a composition-stimulus. The Fly and the Moth (80) follows the pattern of many Aesopic fables: she who laughs at the misfortune of others soon runs into her own calamity.
