- Abstract
- en_US I have a series, apparently "Series 7," with six pamphlets, each offering a bilingual presentation of a fable. Here the sixth starts out as though it were a rendition of 2P but then takes a curious turn. That first part of the story puts them into a rich man's house. The blue ceramic pitcher is less valued than the arrogant brass pitcher that looked "bright and shine" (sic). A flood swept both away, along with many other things. Part of the fun of this story is watching all the things that are then floating along with the two pitchers. The arrogant brass pitcher says "You should pray to god to make you stay close to me forever so that you will be safe though it bothers me." Not good English, but great arrogance! The ceramic pitcher answers with the wisdom of the traditional fable: "You may hit and break me if you come close." The lighter ceramic pitcher survives. The heavy brass pitcher "was finally and drowned." The copy editor missed a few things in this version! There seem to be two different speech "bubbles" of Thai on each page but only one of English. What is that second non-English bubble about?
