Abstract
This pleasing little sideways book presents Kalila and Dimna's story, told by Schanzabeh, of the camel attacked by the counselors of King Lion, but gives it an ending new to me. Just as the courtiers (here fox, vulture, and leopard) are ready to pounce on the unsuspecting camel who has offered himself, King Lion declares that he will eat all of them in the order in which they have offered themselves! The three others flee, and camel and lion are friends for life. This version also has the foursome going off to get the camel in the desert; the camel brings all but the vulture back home on his back.
