Abstract

en_US
A great title starts off this lively adventure! This fox calculates and engages, one by one, a whole team to carry out his carefully calculated and recalculated plans. He goes to the bear for a boost, beaver for an oomph, porcupine for a scooch, and possum for a swing, As he approaches each, each tries to offer an alternate plan whose description is interrupted by the fox with the remark like After all, I'm the fox. Sly. Clever. Smart. I know how to get grapes. The elaborately diagrammed plans run from alpha to echo. When skunk asks the unsuccessful group what they are doing, fox answers that there is simply no way to get the grapes. Each gets to express the simpler way in which he could have got the grapes. Fox's last remark then is Well, do as you wish. I, for one, wouldn't think of eating those lousy, rotten, stinkin' grapes now, even if I could. . . . They're probably sour anyway. They answer If you say so as they eat the grapes. Moser's fox is wonderful in his leapings, his positionings, and his plannings.
