- Abstract
- en_US Six fables are followed by a three pages of “Meanings of Difficult Words.” Each page gets some text and some illustration with cartoon “balloons” for the characters’ thoughts and statements. MSA presents all the steps of the story, including carrying the donkey on a pole and watching him go “hurling down the river” (16). For King Lion’s birthday, both the monkey and the elephant show off impressive tricks before the camel thinks “I can perform these tricks better than the monkey and the elephant” (25). When his dance goes wrong, the lion banishes him from the forest. At the end of FS, the fox understands how hurt others can feel over tricks like his. The town mouse has a bath, supper, peaceful sleep, and a hearty breakfast. He likes country life! Later the village mouse enjoys “the malls, the movies and the museums” of the town. The owner of the town house sprays the house daily with smoky insect repellent. This day he then waits for them outside the house with a big stick. Also “The Deer and His Antlers” and “The Owl and the Grasshopper.” In the latter, the owl does not invite the grasshopper in for a meal; he simply pounces upon him after repeated requests for quiet. 7¼” x 9¼”.
