Abstract
I have a series, apparently "Series 7," with six pamphlets, each offering a bilingual presentation of a fable. Here the third presents as "The Wild Cat" the traditional story of the eagle, the cat, and the sow. Here the cat does not live in the middle of the tree between the eagle in the branches and the sow at the base, both with their broods. This cat happens by and has an idea. Then she makes the traditional appeal to both. "The sow is toppling the tree" and "The eagle is waiting for you to leave, and he will swoop down and take your young." The appeal succeeds. Neither mother moves, and members of their broods die. The dead young become the food of the cat. "The gullible would easily become the victim of the cunning." Perhaps the best of the cartoons has the clever cat carrying off both a fledgling and a piglet in the last cartoon. The back cover shows the six items in this collection. There seem to be two different speech "bubbles" of Thai on each page but only one of English. What is that second non-English bubble about?
