Abstract
The classic version of this fable has a stag eating from the vines that have given him cover. The rustling of the leaves alerts the hunter. In this version, a goat eats away so many of the grapes and leaves that the hunter, later returning the same way, can see him now. The stated moral is "One who has no gratitude shall always be punished." Perhaps the best images in the pamphlet include the cover picture of the frightened goat hiding from the fierce hunter and the picture of the goat's distended stomach after he has eaten so much. The text editor has significant trouble with English idiom and grammar here. The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book. There is a page of vocabulary on the inside back cover, with a picture of all six books in the series on the back cover. The pamphlet is twelve pages long, about 7½" x 6¾".
