Abstract
This traditional story is usually told with a giant hunk of wood tied around the fierce dog's neck to warn others. Here his owner uses a cage, pole, chain, and collar. As in the fable, the miscreant takes this special care as a sign of admiration, not as a punishment. There is a final stage in this version not, I believe, regularly in the traditional story: the other dogs laugh at this dog's misperception. The stated moral is "Roguery always leads to doom." The English editing of this story suffers from start to finish, particularly with confusion between "a" and "the" in narrating a story. The miscreant dog gets off this statement: "Both of collar and cage are the rewards from my boss. You are jealous me." The front-cover on both sides has symbols for Green Life publishing, Green Ocean paper, and yessoy ink. The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; it is repeated three times. There is a page of vocabulary on the inside back cover, with a picture of all six books in the series on the back cover. The pamphlet is twelve pages long, about 7½" x 6¾".
