Abstract
The urge to create fables is happily not dormant in Europe. Here from behind the Iron Curtain we have a 48 page paperback with some 40 short fables. It all starts with a first fable, "Die Idee" (7), in which the poet hears two bushes talking. The smarter bush seems to have learned from humans that, when one is in the wind, one should be active. The poet goes home and starts writing. In "Die Einwand" (11), animals are discussing how they can be free of wolves. An ant says that it is hopeless. A bee answers "In South America, there are ants that kill even humans." "Yes" answers the ant "but they show up in hordes." In "Der Blickpunkt" (33), a sheep says to an owl "What an insult that you are always pictured sitting." "How so?" asks the owl. "Well," answers the sheep, "a chicken is pictured sitting on eggs." The owl finishes: "How can I be insulted if a sheepshead does not grasp that you cannot make books with eggs but you can make more eggs with books?"
