Abstract

en_US I first saw a wall-full of this series at Kyobo Book in Seoul in July, '04. I bought one copy, came home, and worked to order the full set of thirty booklets, workbooks, and audio cassettes from the publisher. Each set cost 9,800 Won. I have divided that cost among the book (6800 Won), booklet (1000 Won), and cassette (2000 Won). The colored booklet features twenty-eight thick, sturdy pages and excellent color reproduction. The art is cartoon-like, simple, and direct. This version deals with a question often provoked by the story: Does this dog steal his meat? If so, is he paying the price for his theft? This hungry dog visits a party, and someone noticing his hunger throws him a piece of meat. The key illustration of the story, which also appears on the cover, comes on 16-17. This dog finds the reflected meat bigger than his own. He plans to jump in and have two pieces of meat. He realizes only well after he has jumped into the water that he has let go of his own piece of meat. The story takes a strange new turn when Ralph, suffering on the bank, sneezes and then realizes that, since the dog in the water also sneezed, he has been seeing his reflection. Pages 22-23 help portray that moment of insight. If you are too greedy, you may even lose what you have.
