Abstract
The version of this fable is difficult for me. A man brings home a "mother" dove and takes care of it in its cage. A neighboring crow tries to befriend this dove, insulted, answers: "You must have a hard life. I live comfortably and so do my babies!" Where, I ask, are these babies? The crow answers that she would never trade her freedom for the dove's comfort. My issues with the story are three: the babies, caged comfort, and the moral's mention of "beauty on the outside." The stated moral is "If you only care about beauty on the outside, you won't be able to find true happiness." The inside front-cover has symbols for Green Life publishing and Green Ocean paper. 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".
