Abstract
One of twenty in the series, found near the counter as we were settling up a large order of books. Sixteen pages with standard computer art. This version of DLS is unusual not only because the skin belonged to a tiger but also because the donkey's washerman owner finds the skin and puts it onto his emaciated donkey. The best illustration of the book, repeated in reverse on the cover, has the owner stretching out the skin in admiration. The ploy works. After a few days, the donkey has grown fat and stout. But the angry farmers of the village decide to kill the tiger. In their presence, another donkey brays, and the washerman's donkey lifts his head and brays back. The angry farmers lose control of themselves and kill the tiger-donkey. Think well before acting is another rather generalized moral. Might Think about the consequences before you enter upon a course of action have been better?
