Abstract
-
en_US
The first of two stories here is an extension/application of Florian's story of the blind man and the cripple. Here they live in a temple and bicker with each other regularly. When a fire breaks out in the temple, they need to work together and they find a good apportionment of the work: the blind man carries the lame man and follows his directions. One of the best illustrations is on 11-12: the blind man carries the lame man out of the flames, and two mice echo the two humans in their escape. Orchard Village is a pleasing story. A man who has bought a field finds a clump of gold. He tries to return it to the man who sold him the field -- unsuccessfully. Together they try to give it to their two children who are marrying, but their offer is rejected. Finally, they decide to use the money for something that can benefit everyone in the village, namely an irrigation canal for their fruit-trees. After each story there is a Parental Guide pointing out the things that can be learned from the story. The book is unusually well constructed. The illustrations meet, for example, perfectly at the center of a pagespread.
