Abstract
This 24-page two-staple pamphlet is ninth in the collection of 20 listed on the back cover. 7½" x 6¾". The first story is new to me. Mother crocodile commits her six young children to the wolf to be educated. The wolf finds a way to eat one each day. As mother visits each day, he shows at least one crocodile twice, to satisfy her that all six are doing well. When he has eaten all six, he vanishes, and mother crocodile weeps to find no one there on her last visit. In the second story, monkey asks buffalo to get him across the water, since there are bananas on the other side. Buffalo obliges and eats grass on the other side. Monkey starts to sing, and his song alerts a farmer, who hurts the buffalo with a stone. Buffalo is angry with monkey for attracting the farmer, and monkey apologizes. On the way home, buffalo does what he wants, wallowing in the water and almost drowning the monkey. Turn-about is fair play. In this case, monkey promises never to get into trouble someone who is helping him. Partial-page and full-page illustrations alternate.
