Abstract
This paperback starts off with a bang with the story of the ant that played its Grille (fiddle?) all summer for the working ants. So in the winter, they made her dance for them until she dropped dead. Next comes a tiger who does nothing when a chicken happens to land in its lair; he even feeds the chicken from his food as much as she wants. People founded a society for understanding of animals of all sorts and elected him an honorary member. But he was just waiting for the chicken to fatten up. So one day he ate it. Since he was a cultivated tiger, he ate with knife and fork and a well washed napkin. Now the club calls itself Club for Maintaining Good Table Etiquette. It has grown greatly and Tiger is now the honorary president. The title-story tells of a mouse with a bankbook. A terrible winter drove many mice to die of hunger, but not this mouse; he could eat his bankbook! FS gets told differently; the fox concerned itself with emptying all the wine glasses at the stork's feast! An inspired vine-louse announces the coming damnation of all vine-lice because of the demon alcohol. None of them listen. She places herself on a an old potato stake but soon dies there of stomach cramps. Perhaps she gave up alcohol too late…. This is clever, light-hearted stuff, worthy of fable! The book is decorated with various zebra prints.
