Abstract

en_US Twenty-three stories on 151 pages. The first four are from the Jatakas. Seven others are fables taken from the Hitopadesha, described in the Author's Note as a collection of fables. The Mouse and His Friends (36) is the traditional K&D story of Zhirac the rat and his friends. The Mongoose, the Owl, the Cat, and the Mouse (43) is the familiar story of the mouse's having to trust the cat for a short time to defend himself from the threatening owl and mongoose--but he is too smart to trust this friendship after the threat to them both is over. The Earthquake (46) is the traditional end of the world story. The Brahman and the Goat (126) is about the clever thieves who convince this Brahman that he is leading a dog, not a goat. The Indigo Jackal (128) is familiar, as are The Fate of the Vulture (138), The Hare in the Moon (141), and The Foolish Brahman (150). Strangely, the Author's Note mentions two stories that are not in this volume.
