Abstract
"Here are some fifteen short stories on 222 pages. I had read one of them earlier: "Schamhaftigkeit und Kälte." It is a funny fable of a mother ptarmigan ("Schneehuhn") who is incensed over her son's report that birds down in the valley are showing their legs! Mother goes down to get clarity and comes upon a flock of partridges who have just arrived from the south. They are all showing bare legs! She insults them and tells them to go back home with their immodesty. They answer her: "You wear pants not out of a sense of shame or modesty but because it is cold!" This time I read "The Fable of Hercules" (217) and laughed out loud. There is a T of C at the back, with a curious list of dates for individual works."
