Abstract

This traditional story as it is told here comes very close to being a simple joke. The youngest mole cub wants to prove that it is ready to leave the nest. His mother thus puts him to the test with a mass of strong smelling gum benjamin. The cub identifies it as a stone. Mom's funny response is: "Not only you can not see but your nose also can not smell." The stated moral is "Anyone who boast of the things that they really do not know, it is pillory their defect to everyone." I guess that this moral means that boasting about things one does not know only shows one's ignorance. The English editing of this story suffers, as is clear in the moral just above. The outside front-cover has a symbol for Green Life publishing, and the inside front-cover repeats that along with a symbol for Green Ocean paper. The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; that symbol appears 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".
