Abstract
-
en_US
Here are fifteen enjoyable twists on traditional fable themes. The lazy ant Adalbert refuses to work as all the other ants do. He goes off on his own and deliberately does nothing. Then a hungry ant-bear comes and eats all of the other ants. The lazy man often lives longer than the industrious man. An elephant falls in love and is able to overlook his beloved's lack of love for him. A blind person often overlooks the things that he does not want to see. A crow decides that he wants to become a singer and does. Success depends for sure on applause, only maybe on talent. Fable 5 gets into new territory, I think, when it claims that of the thousand black sheep that met on Wolfsberg in the great Partei-Gathering, only one now admits that he was there, only a little active member…. Truth does people good, even in this form. Fable 6 gets even touchier: Does an exhausted rooster here declare himself gay? Instead of complaining, portray yourself as a hero if you ever fail! The illustrations are copies, among others, of the seventeenth century animal depictions of Johannes Ionstonus, a medical doctor in Frankfurt.
