Abstract

en_US
Fifteen Puerto Rican stories. The first of them, The Tiger and the Rabbit (1-11), contains a number of standard fable motifs, like the cheese at the bottom of the well, the tiger allowing himself to be tied up, the monkey being thrown up into the air so that he can be better eaten, monkeys being promised immunity if they untie the tiger, and the rabbit riding the tiger as his mount. The Wolf, the Fox, and the Jug of Honey (41) is the old folktale in which allegedly christened children are named by the level of the goodies consumed by the clever fox. Here they include Just Begun and Past Half. La Hormiguita (55) is the series story about who is most powerful. Here it begins not with the marriage of a daughter but with an ant breaking a leg on snow. The series here is ant, snow, sun, cloud, wind, wall, mouse, cat, dog, stick, fire, water, bull, knife, man, death, and God. God cures the ant. In The Dance of the Animals (99), the would-be victim goat is thrown to safety by his very attacker, King Lion.
