Abstract

en_US
There are three fables in this short, small pamphlet of 16 pages: TMCM, "The Tiger and the Fox," and "The Greedy Coyote." It was almost impossible to find a year of publication for this little pamphlet, and the only clue I found was from its braille version. Surprisingly, the inhabitants of the city here -- which the country mouse has never visited -- are all mice. Two dogs invade. "It is better to eat bread and cheese in peace than to eat cakes in fear." The second fable, presented here as Chinese, has the fox persuading the tiger that he, the fox, is the king of the animals. He demonstrates that surprising fact by having the tiger walk behind him as the fox confronts other animals. "Small animals must live by their wits." In the third fable. Greedy Coyote wants only gold. He sells all that he has for sacks of gold, and then buries the gold in a secret place. This fable soon becomes the usual "Miser and His Buried Treasure" fable. Rabbit recommends burying a stone in the hole. "Gold does not bring you happiness." The inside back cover presents six "Think and Respond" questions.
