Abstract
This series of four booklets may be my first find from East Africa. This volume has five stories with one illustration apiece. The first tale is SW told in the poorer form. The second, The girl who teased her parents, is Aesop's BW with a sad ending: the girl dies from a snake's poison while her parents in bed nearby refuse to believe that she is in trouble. The lazy wife locks up the guard dog and pays for her stupidity. In the fourth, Animal troubles, the wild animals convince the domesticated to turn against their masters but spoil their agreement by attacking the domesticated that night. The zebra's stripes come from a costume for an animals' feast; compare this version with that in The Elephant's Heart (1968) in this series.
