First Bedtime Stories

Abstract

Short tales, suitable in size and theme for bedtime, e.g., One at a Time (44). It is curious to see which Aesopic fables are chosen for this genre. The three Aesopic fables are SW (6, with a bet over who can make the man take off his coat), LM (19), and CP (45, with only one drop in the jug!). An ostrich replaces the hare in The Hare and the Hedgehog (13).
