Abstract

en_US This is an earlier edition of my 1962 edition published by Lyons and Carnahan. This edition still lists ©1949 Lyons and Carnahan. This first-grade reader includes one fable, The Donkey and the Dog (179). This version of the story has some unusual features. A bee talked with the dispirited donkey. Getting into the house was a big part of the donkey's motivation, and he had a first encounter with the man outside that gave him hope that he now might enter. The man handled the situation unusually politically correctly. As I have compared this 1954 version with the 1962 version, I see that the latter will expand on the man's more laconic remarks here: You are not like the dog, but you are a very good donkey. The dog can not work. He is too small to work. You are big. You help me work in the fields. The donkey went away feeling good and wanting to work for his friend, the man. This version of the story goes on without a crisis in which the man needed to call for help. This edition has a simple blue cloth cover with a child holding two dogs on leashes. It lacks the quiz/game that one finds at the end of the later edition. The fable comes eight pages later there.
