- Abstract
- en_US The four fables presented and illustrated in this volume are: WS; The Emperor and the Minister; The Donkey, the Dog and the Master; and The Lion and the Hare. The formula for this series seems to be Slick printing and lively illustrations in bilingual pages with notes marking difficult vocabulary words. WS is told in the poorer version. The morals are surprising, to say the least. The moral for WS is There is no limit if you look up. What?! For The Donkey, the Dog and the Master it is One could suffer for his wisdom. Was that wisdom for which the donkey suffered? For the last fable the moral is: Penny-wise and pound foolish. I think that the lion was neither penny-wise nor pound foolish! The second fable uses the performance of a trick to talk an emperor out of his autocratic and selfish wish to have a tall tower built for himself.
