Abstract
This booklet was given to attendants at the annual meeting of Die Gesellschaft der Bibliophilen in Munich in 1954 by the Schriftgiesserei D. Stempel in Frankfurt am Main. It offers eight fables with almost as many monochrome illustrations. Die Dankbarkeit is a tribute to the behavior of cat and dog after a master feeds each from his plate. The master commends the dog for staying and thanking him. The dog responds: Sure, who knows but that you won't have chicken again tomorrow?! The police dog with a great nose for crime lets a black-marketeer go by and explains that he has a cold. For sure he will soon be promoted to inspector! Die fette Maus returns to the Aesopic fable about the weasel who entered a granary thin and will have to wait until he is thin again to come out. Here the fattened mouse says that he will just remain among the great food that he loves! Papagaien und Affen may have the most impressive illustration: a crowned ape. In Die nutzlosen Worte, a cat asks a parrot why he has not learned at least a few words. The parrot raises his head from his food and says that he has learned silence. This is a very nice booklet.
