Abstract: en_US This is a 33-page pamphlet, 6" x 9", offering the wisdom of its author. The book's only illustration is the front cover's illustration of a giant salt-shaker on a table between two stick-men. There is a repeated printer's device above the introduction and before each fable. The fables are highly reflective but they tend to be preachy. A good example may be "The Fable of Beggar Man Thief" (11) with its good moral "Nothing succeeds or fails like success" (11). Shreffler ties up to the world of fable wisdom nicely in his first fable's moral: "You better think, brother, or you are thunk" (2). Other morals are also nicely challenging: "Violence is the ignorant choice of apathy" (4) and "What you do not know will hurt you" (18). The last fable is in dialect that I cannot quite make out. There is a T of C at the beginning.
