Abstract
-
en_US
This collection of various sorts of tales includes perhaps four fables in its first section. They include The Bragging Beasts (13; in this all talk fable, the unhunted frog tells all the other animals It is what you boast of that is your undoing), The Cock and His Loving Wives (15; there are many ways to love a rooster), The Mouse Surrounded (25; the mouse is wise never to trust the cat), and Get Ready, Get Set, Go (28; the elephant sees two ants in front of him no matter how fast he runs in this race). Then there are five Jataka tales (52-69): The Golden Deer, The Monkey King's Bridge, How to Catch a Fish, The Carpenter's Boar, and A Handful of Peas. The last three of these seem the strongest to me. I will keep all three copies in the collection. Though they are different, they are all first printings.
