- Abstract
- en_US I would not call this traditional tale a fable, especially because of its reliance on magic. A man is about to cut down a tree when the tree asks to be spared, promising the man three wishes. He comes home and complains about rice again. "I wish I had a nice loaf of bread." His wife complains about his using up the first of three wishes trivially and then says "I wish you had the bread hanging from your nose." Two wishes down. When they cannot remove the bread, he wishes that it would be gone. And so it is. The stated moral is "Think carefully before you speak." The moral page has a standard setting throughout this Series #9: a monkey hanging from a branch points to the moral. The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book. 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".
