Abstract

en_US This 24-page two-staple pamphlet is eighth in the collection of 20 listed on the back cover. 7½" x 6¾". The first story is that of the eagle who prevents the king, his master, from drinking water that would poison him. The angry king strangles the eagle and, upon learning that the water was infected with a dead poisonous snake, regrets his rash deed. The second story uses the familiar trope "How did you get so wise?" A lion, wolf, and fox catch a donkey, rabbit, and goat. The lion asks the wolf how to divide them, and the wolf assigns one animal victim to each hunter. The lion beheads the wolf and asks the fox how to divide the spoils. "Donkey for your breakfast, rabbit for your lunch, goat for your dinner." Who taught you this perfect way of dividing up the spoils? "The moment I saw you separating the wolf's head from his body, I became smart." Partial-page and full-page illustrations alternate.
