Abstract
-
en_US
This is a thick fourth-grade reader the last section of which is Old Tales from Everywhere. Among the seven stories told there one finds three fables. Chanticleer and the Fox (372) is a well told children's version of Chaucer's story. A Barber's Discovery (381) is labelled a La Fontaine Fable, and so it is. It tells the story of the acorn and the pumpkin, IX 4 in La Fontaine. It adds the fact that this man is a barber named Garo and is eager to tell all his clients his great discovery -- until, of course, an acorn falls on his nose. The Golden Eggs (415) adds an unusual touch. The lucky couple is so taken with their new riches that they leave off their normal work. Frequent simple colored illustrations help each story along.
