Abstract

en_US
Here is the second of ten 16-page boxed pamphlets, 7¼" x 9⅜". There are ten stories, each with an explicit moral highlighted apart from the story. Where I have seen a version of monkeys warming fireflies, here it is Gunja fruits that they try to fan into flames. The version has a great moral: "Never advise fools." New to me is the story of two parrots. They receive a king in opposing fashions due to their divergent upbringing. "The Foolish Friend" here is not a bear but a monkey who attacks a fly on the king's chest with a sword. The king in this case is severely injured. Also new is "The Bird with Two Heads." One head, to spite the other for an insult, eats poisonous fruit. "The Unlucky Weaver" is new to me and too complex to sum up here. In yet another, two jackals follow a bull, hoping that stronger animals will kill him and leave something for them. No luck! "Greed makes a man blind and foolish." "The Trapper and the Doves" strangely repeats a story from the first volume. The illustrations are in the style of Disney.
