Abstract
This small pamphlet appeared during a wonderful occasion. Shoji Iiyama was showing me Yokohama, and we had a little time left before I needed to head back to Tokyo. He suggested Chinatown, and I was delighted. By stopping in the crazy shops that sell everything, I told him, we would find something. We walked in one such shop and I found six-sided Chinese story-blocks of TH. As I was looking them over, he looked through the books and amazed himself to find this Chinese book of fables. There are five fables in it, with pictures and text printed on opposite sides of the same thin page of paper. Thus all the pictures are on the right. Some printings do not align well (e.g., 9). In MSA, an old woman strikes the child on the donkey with a stick (7)! Other stories include The Donkey Drinking Dew, GA, The Fox and the Monkey King, and DS. What a delightful find!
