- Abstract
- en_US Here is a standard reader, unusual perhaps most for its lovely illustrations of many colors, almost one to a page. The book contains two fables. The Rat and the Elephant gets this story right (32). The rat struts about proclaiming I am little, but I am great. Just then the king's pussy saw the rat. Soon the rat knew he was not so great as an elephant. And that was the end of the foolish rat. The Wise Old Cat presents two ploys usually used separately in two varied tellings (55). First he climbs up on a shelf and hangs from it head down -- and succeeds in eating some mice. Then he rolls himself in flour and lies down on the floor. A wise old rat comments That may be a heap of flour. But it looks to me very much like the cat. This time Pussy goes hungry.
