Description
Summary:Here is one of seven booklets out of a series of twenty-seven. Each booklet of sixteen pages contains three fables. The title-fable is the traditional story of the "lost ax." In this version it is a fish that offers the woodchopper three axes. The fable stops with his receiving the three. I believe this is the first time I have seen a fish in that role. The second is "El Pingüino coronado Rey." The penguins here live in "Antártida." Hmmmm. Rino the King commands that everybody share their fish come Autumn; only he does not share. He ends up ruling no one. "Arturo el Canguro Celoso" is the third story. Arturo likes being carried in mamma's pouch. When his little brother arrives, he has a tough time. He creates reasons to be carried and finally gets himself sick, but his mother does not put him back into the pouch. Instead she sends him to bed. Jealousy ends up hurting the jealous one.
