Abstract
-
en_US
Here is a second volume of Iriarte in this series. As I wrote of the first volume, I would not have thought that Iriarte was easily understood by children. When the crow beats the turkey in a race, the latter makes base personal criticisms of the former. A gardener, following boss's orders, first starves fish while attending to flowers. Criticized, he does the opposite. Writers, if you cannot do two things at once -- be both tasteful and profitable -- quit! The third fable purports to be from Aesop. Once mouse hears cat claim faithfulness to dog as praiseworthy, as mouse had just done, says he does not like it at all. Many retract what they would assert if it boosts their enemy. Iriarte then says "Good fable, isn't it? Instructs and pleases? Well, it is not from Aesop. Now I suppose you'll hate it because it comes from me!" The reader falls into the trap the fable has set. Goat prides himself on the strings of a violin as coming from goat-gut. Horse notes that the horse-hairs in the artist's bow allow the horse to get acclaim for his part in the art while he is still alive. Goat can hope for acclaim only after death. Two inns contrast. The impressive inn ends up being cold and unfriendly, while the humble in was warm and welcoming. Thus many a book deceives its reader's hopes. Don't trust a frantic beginning from a mule or a frantic opening from a writer. As animals praise a silkworm's cocoon, a caterpillar intervenes and wonders what the fuss is all about. Others wonder why he alone is such a critic. The sly fox answers "It is because he makes cocoons too, but his are worthless." A pedantic cat loves to talk in big words. Lizard understands nothing of it but praises the cat. A silly cricket is likewise impressed by the cat. High sounding writers, this fable is for you! Colorful illustrations typically present the characters but may not help focus the story's specific action. The wrap-around cover presents a child sitting on a toadstool directing several animals.
