Abstract
-
en_US
The presentation in this large-format pamphlet is playful, starting right from the scowl on the eagle's face on the front cover. Most of the sixteen pages are parts of two-page spreads including left and right hand pages. English and Tagalog are on the right. The wager is not about climbing higher than others but about speed in reaching a distant goal. The swallow, who has noticed that it will rain soon, urges the eagle to make the race more exciting. The swallow proposes that each will carry a load, the eagle namely a bundle of cotton and the swallow some salt. When the rain comes, the eagle, whose cotton bundle is getting wet, flies slower and slower. The swallow's salt of course melts away with the rain. The swallow wins and the eagle stops bragging. There is a simple maze on the activity page: the crow is trying to get to a worm. The inside back-cover contains two punch-out birds. A simple illustration shows how to let them slide down along a gradually inclined string. This book is apparently one of six in the set.
