Abstract
Here are two stories, nicely illustrated. The first has a familiar fable structure, as indicated in this summary found at people.wku.edu: "Long time ago, a scholar by the name of Dongguo was stopped by an injured wolf, which begged him to save its life from pursuing hunters. Dongguo hid the beast in his book bag and misdirected the hunters. The ungrateful wolf wanted to eat Dongguo as soon as it crept out of the book bag. Terrified, Dongguo tried to buy himself some time. He suggested that they consult three elders and let them decide if the wolf ought to eat Dongguo. Finally, an elderly man came to Dongguo's rescue, as he tricked the wolf back into the book bag and killed it." The final act of killing is not clear here, since the last illustration shows the wolf fleeing from hunters' arrows. In the second story, the bear seems to like the gifts of honey from the bees so much that he dives into the hive -- and soon has to be running from the bees pursuing with spears. The illustrations are by Zhang Yuejian for the first story and Cai Zhenua for the second. 28 pages. 5" x 5⅞".
