Abstract

en_US This 24-page two-staple pamphlet is seventh in the collection of 20 listed on the back cover. 7½" x 6¾". The first story is the Panchatantra story about regulated sacrifice and luring the king of the jungle to his death. Here a mousedeer is the messenger, and the tiger is the king. He drowns in a river, attacking his supposed usurping enemy. It is of course his own reflection in the water. The second is a familiar story of the ailing lion king wondering where the fox is. The wolf, the fox's enemy, takes the occasion to tell the lion that the fox disrespects him. The fox learns of the wolf's maneuvering, hastens to the king, and explains that he has been on a search for the cure for the king's wound. The cure is the warm skin of a wolf. The procedure kills the wolf. Partial-page and full-page illustrations alternate.
