Abstract

en_US This 24-page two-staple pamphlet is first in the collection of 20 listed on the back cover. 7½" x 6¾". The first story is the age-old story of getting the threatening perpetrator to put himself back into the original position. In this version the mousedeer passing by helps the man victim who had saved the trapped crocodile, only to find himself attacked by it. In the second story, a wild cat fools a hospitable bear twice, eating his own chicken at night and then claiming it was lost. The kind black bear reimburses the wild cat twice with one of his own chickens. The third time the bear is smart, catches the wild cat in the act, and, in the morning throws him out, knocking him out. Partial-page and full-page illustrations alternate.
