Abstract

en_US
This early kids' reader announces three Aesop stories: FG, AL, and BC. All are told in rebus, as they are in Laidlaw/Doubleday's Tales to Read (1964) by Hester and Shane. The handling of AL shows some curious decisions. The Androcles-figure had worked for the king but run away. He and the lion are caught together, and the king specifically asks for them to be together in the circus. This approach to a rebus story involves lots of This is what the king did sentences for events that would take long words to express. A fourth story presented here as a Slavic folk tale, The Wolf and the Cat, shows up in fable collections. The cat suggests many places where the pursued wolf can ask for help, but it turns out that the wolf has robbed every one of them in the past!
