Abstract

en_US
Among the various stories in this volume, there are fables. "The Battle of the Wind and the Rain" (18) is like SW. The wind is sure that it can blow a monkey out of a tree. The growing rain gets the monkey to climb down on his own. "A Feast of Gold" (26) is like the Midas legend. A couple loves to count their money. They even delay prepared meals to do more money-counting. Once after a delay, they find that their food has turned to gold, and they celebrate wildly. Wanting to throw a party, they go to the kitchen, but find that the food there has turned to gold. They end up never eating. A final image shows two skeletons among vases, bags, and baskets filled with gold. "The Magic Lake" (35) is the fable of the lost ax. Here the "divine" element is a fairy pictured as a lovely woman, who explains that she made the silver and gold blades just for Pedro ÔÇô and so he could accept them as gifts rewarding his honesty. Pedro's wife tells the story abroad, and neighbor Lito loosens two blades and loses them in the lake the next day. He wants both the silver and gold blades that the fairy produces but she refuses. And now he has lost both his axes! "The Deer and the Snail" (41) is a replay of the traditional race against the hedgehog. Fellow snails position themselves along the way.
