Abstract
This story does not strike me as being a fable in the traditional sense. However, it is a delightful story. Martina is a beautiful ant. Many wooers come beneath her balcony: cat, duck, dog, rooster, frog, bull, pig, and finally the hoped for mouse Pérez. To each she answers Maybe yes, maybe no. How will you speak to me in the future? Pérez wins her heart and they marry. Alas, Pérez carelessly falls into a Christmas rice pudding that Martina is making for him. Everyone runs to Martina's house. Pérez is saved in the nick of time, and everyone stays to celebrate Christmas. The picture of Pérez floating in the pudding (25) is excellent! And what is one to learn from this story?
