- Abstract
- en_US A cumulative book. The horse sends the fox to get a knife with which the horse can kill himself to feed the starving fox. The search carries the fox to the sorcerer for his knife, God for his grindstone, the oxen of the moon to carry the grindstone, the son of the sun to drive them, the hare for its milk to feed the son of the sun, the aspen for a bucket, the beaver for his teeth to make the bucket, the blacksmith for his tongs to pull the teeth. After the series finally reaches a limit and is run through, there is a surprise ending. Gentle illustrations all along the way.
