Synopsis Fables Folk-Tales from an Eastern Forest (Classic Reprint) by : Walter William Skeat
Excerpt from Fables Folk-Tales From an Eastern Forest Here, however, it is perhaps worth noting that although the Mouse-deer as a master of slimness is given the preeminent place among all the beasts of the field, its mantle is sometimes temporarily permitted to fall upon the shoulders of other and quite different members of the animal creation. Hence we hnd in the 14th story, that the King crow is worsted by a Water-snai], and I may add that in a Javanese fable of the same type (for which compare our own 'hare-and-tortoise' F able) the Mouse-deer itself plays the part of the deceived, instead of that of the deceiver. But the subject of the mutual relations of the Beasts in Malayan Fable is one which has yet to be worked out, and which lies unfortunately far beyond the bounds of the present disquisition.

Synopsis Stone Soup by : Heather Forest
Read Along or Enhanced eBook: Two hungry travelers arrive at a village expecting to find a household that will share a bit of food, as has been the custom along their journey. To their surprise, villager after villager refuses to share, each one closing the door with a bang. As they sit to rest beside a well, one of the travelers observes that if the townspeople have no food to share, they must be "in greater need than we are." With that, the travelers demonstrate their special recipe for a magical soup, using a stone as a starter. All they need is a carrot, which a young girl volunteers. Not to be outdone, another villager contributes a potato, and the soup grows as others bring corn, celery, and other vegetables and seasonings. In this cumulative retelling of an ancient and widely circulated legend, author Heather Forest shows us that when each person makes a small contribution, “the collective impact can be huge.” Susan Gaber's paintings portray the optimism and timelessness of a story that celebrates teamwork and generosity
