- Abstract
- en_US This Panchatantra tale includes some variants here. There is no natural provocation or even a reported one. The wily heron invites transport to an even better place to live, at a waterfall. He carries individuals then only as far as the other end of the swamp. The crab suspects the heron; he is also the last to fly. He complains of a problem with his carapace but suggests that he could fasten onto the heron's neck. He smells fish in the heron's breath and then sees the bones of his old friends. He forces the heron to return him to his home. Whether the heron comes out alive is not mentioned. In "Teachings obtained from this tale" we find "Do not trust others easily." The page for this moral includes an outline of a major character from the story and a colored model to use in coloring in this outline. The outside front-cover has a symbol for Green Life publishing, and the inside front-cover repeats that along with a symbol for Green Ocean paper. The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; that symbol appears three times. There is a page of vocabulary on the inside back cover, with a picture of all six books in the series on the back cover. The pamphlet is twelve pages long, about 7½" x 6¾".
