Abstract
This is the sixth of seven strong books. The book is made to be read with the story -- English or Korean -- on the two accompanying CDs. The first thing one notices about these books is their stiff, strong pages. There are only fourteen pages in the book! The second thing is the dramatic quality of the illustrations. The artist catches this fable's invitation to duality; the two animals are matched in one way after another. Though their bodies are different, their stance facing each other at the pool is similar. Someone viewing their grapple, repeated on the title-page, might have trouble distinguishing one fighter from the other. Perhaps the best illustration suddenly looks down from above on their surprised faces, just as the vultures do. This version may be rosier than most when the two agree It would be better to remain friends than to become tasty food for vultures. I am not sure that they need to be friends in order to choose survival! Fighting is a waste.
