Short Stories from Panchatantra 9

Abstract

Here is the ninth of ten 16-page boxed pamphlets, 7¼" x 9⅜". There are ten stories, each with an explicit moral highlighted apart from the story. The first story does a good job of reducing the long story "The War between Crows and Owls" to three pages. Here DLS has the donkey wearing a tiger's skin. If you are a blind vulture, do not trust a cat who comes wanting to be your disciple. I am pleased again by "The Bull and the Goat." The bull is fleeing a lion and enters a cave where there is a lone goat. The goat butts and injures the bull. "I don't fear you. I fear the lion. Wait till the lion goes away and I will teach you a lesson." DS is the last story here. The illustrations are in the style of Disney.
