Abstract
This 24-page two-staple pamphlet is second in the collection of 20 listed on the back cover. 7½" x 6¾". The first story is rather complex. In the end, it has a donkey outwitting lion and fox, pitting the former successfully against the latter. The presumption of the story is that the donkey took the lion as his slave but could not admit weakness in his presence. The second story tells of a tiger who comes upon two sleeping humans, a father with his son's head covered on his chest. The silly tiger thinks that this is an eight-limbed creature. A crocodile puts him straight and sends him back to bring one of the humans for him and one for the tiger. As the tiger approaches, he causes the man to sneeze. He bolts in fear back to the crocodile, who waits with open mouth for the supposed gift from the tiger. The crocodile swallows the tiger whole. "Human flesh is really delicious but rather furry." Partial-page and full-page illustrations alternate.
