Abstract
Here is a book of lively humor, more joke than fable. "Unlike Aesop, however, these stories and their morals are meant to be more entertaining than moralistic" (viii). The account of what might be known about Aesop is garbled. MSA shows up on 15, with the moral "If you try to please everyody there is a good chance you will lose your ass." "The Free Haircut" on 185 I have heard mostly as a religious joke about different orders. A good sample of these stories is "The Temptation Test" on 149. Much of the humor of these stories comes in well shaped punch-lines, like "You won't know what happiness is until you marry, and then it is too late" (153). Printed on demand. 203 pages. About 5" x 8".
