Abstract

en_US This book is available as an e-book at several places on the web. One of those sites offers this computer-generated summary, noting that the sites does take responsibility for the description: Such was not the case, however; and indeed it is a well-known fact that the more one has the more one wants, and that there are some who wish to possess the earth. This is how the quarrel began. The water-rat, who lived on the edge of the brook, claimed the right to a cornfield near by, which the crow had always considered his own. The quarrel ended in a fierce fight which lasted many hours, neither being able to conquer the other. At last, bleeding and maimed, they agreed to lay the case before the owl and abide by his decision, for he had the reputation of being very wise. When I ordered this book, I must have been responding to its subtitle. The book does not appear to be a fable. I include it in the collection to warn others of just that fact. Red cloth cover embossed in gold. This copy seems to be a first edition.
