Abstract
Here is one of a set of 20 pamphlets, apparently sold generally in two sets. Eight slick, shiny pages with lively illustrations after a title-page. The pages feel almost plastic, with two curved corners. Each cover has a "BookWorld" logo in the upper left and an "I can read" symbol proper to the booklet in the upper right. Interior illustrations spread regularly across the two pages. After the first fall while crossing the stream, the donkey does it every time they have to cross -- many times, until the merchant figures out what is happening. Then, in this version, the merchant loads the donkey with cotton. After this trip, "The donkey never dared try his tricks ever again." In the last image, the artist does a good job with the water streaming from the cotton-packs and the sweat streaming from the donkey himself. "Deceitful people get bad results in the end."
