"The Stork clerk said, full of pride,/"This will give you a wonderful ride./Like all our goods, it's guaranteed./We stand behind our product, indeed!/If it doesn't work as it is tasked,/We will exchange it, no questions asked." A parrot begins cursing, and the mother asks the son to stop it (54-55).
A piggy went to the store to buy a parachute. "Parachute" (32-33) is both good and a good example of the joke character of the fables here. The title-story comes from a boy who is happy to outdo his comrade who said that a pig has only two legs (12-13).
When the pencil says to the eraser "Your only use is/To undo what I have done," the latter replies "The only time I've work to do/Is when you've gone astray" (10-11). Most of these good fables end up being close to the border with jokes. Beware: The T of C lists fables not by pages by each fable's number in chronological order. Each fable gets a two-page spread in these 64 pages. I measure it at about 9" x 12½." The twenty-seven fables here are simple and good. This is not only my first book published in Albania it is also one of the largest-format books I have. $9.99 from Rosalind Maggart, San Diego, through eBay, Sept., '07.
