Except for a page of "old ... never die, they just ..." at the end, it contained nothing but "punny parables", as you call them. I think there were about 100. The stories were well told and amusing, and took up a page each, plus I think there was an illustration to go along with each story. The stories included all the well-known ones and some not so well-known: Carrying gulls across staid lions for immoral porpoises (yes, I know, there are 2**n versions of this one too) I wouldn't send a knight out on a dog like this! Let your pages do the walking through the yellow fingers. Ah, Mister Rhee of LIFE, I'm glad I found you! A niche in time saved Stein. etc. etc. (I won't spoil it by giving any more) Does anyone have this book? I had a copy but it disappeared many long years ago. I'd love to get another one.
