- Abstract
- en_US The version of CW presented here makes a fable into a fairy tale. The change starts with having not just a standard male but a prince. He and his cat are very much in love with each other. He will not take any bride because of his intense love for his cat. Because the cat keeps crying, an angel of love appears. She will transform the cat but makes the cat promise to "change her whole nature." The cat promises not to show any sign that she is a cat. The artist suggests the transformation in a clever metamorphosis scene. They meet and marry. After a time, the princess cannot hide her real nature. She scratches chairs and once surprises the prince by having a dead rat in her mouth. She is transformed back before the prince can say anything. The stated moral is "True nature cannot be easily concealed." The moral page has a standard framework throughout this Series #2: a kitten painting a picture expresses the moral beneath a framed title of the fable. There are problems with the English editing in this version, including this funny typo: "One day, an angle of love appeared." The front-cover on both sides has symbols for Green Life publishing, Green Ocean paper, and yessoy ink. The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; it is repeated 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".
