- Abstract
- en_US This book is in a series with another book I have found by the same author and publisher: "Timeless Tales: Fables." I include it too in the collection because of its last two stories. "The Tar Baby" (40) and "Stone Soup" (45). At least in this version, the tar baby story is occasioned by Brer Rabbit's refusal to help on digging the well and his subsequent exclusion from using it. I would have thought that the briar patch is part of the solution Brer Rabbit uses to get himself unstuck from the tar baby, but that factor is not mentioned here. "Stone Soup" is identified as from France, Sweden and other places. The stone soupmaker is identified as a hobo. After enjoying the meal and spending the night -- that is what he had asked for originally -- the hobo goes on his way the next day. The punch line is "I never knew anyone could make such fine soup from just a stone and some water!"
