Abstract
A brightly colored book with dramatic illustrations. The story founds the Brahmin's dilemma well by pointing out his duty to practice charity to all things. The book has already stressed the role of duty in India and in this man. The tiger, once freed, tells the Brahmin that it is his duty to eat him. The elephant's submissiveness is moving, as are the stiff upper lip of the pipal tree and the cynicism of the water buffalo. The elephant does not answer the Brahmin's question directly at first. The tiger here does not come along to meet the three men. The jackal is (untypically for the tradition) beyond the three creatures questioned; he accosts the brahmin as the latter is returning to be eaten. Both the book and the tape are very well done.
