Abstract

en_US
The three tales here , though on the long side, are similar to well known fables. Whose Horse Is It? uses the motif of the story of The Iron-Eating Mice. In a place where a fox can light water on fire with his pipe, a barn can give birth to a horse overnight. In The Bone Garden, fox and peacock end up competing over the growth of their seeds, which for the fox are bones. Though he cannot eat plums like the peacock, he can eat the peacock -- and almost does! The Stupid Fox replays a very old story. Caged tiger asks man to let him free. Man, afraid, says No. You will only eat me. Tiger pleads, denying that he would hurt the man. Man relents and tiger is free. His first act then is to try to eat the man. Fox is put forward as a judge of the deservedness of this violent act. Fox plays dumb about how it could have happened until tiger puts himself back in the cage and gets the door locked behind him! Besides the numerous line drawings, there is a two-page colored combination for each story.
