- Abstract
- en_US This is a transformation of the usual GA fable. Several crickets are involved; in fact they play in a band, though the text says that some of them snoozed. Somehow the story narrows down to one cricket. "The ants were willing to help, of course." The fable tradition would not agree with that "of course"! The art for this fable consists exclusively of broad two-page images. The stated moral is "Do not wait for things to get difficult. Be prepare." 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 of this fable, e.g., "scrace" for "scarce" and the problem with the second part of the moral above. 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".
