There are several elements that are unusual in this version of FC.  The story begins abruptly with the crow "picking up the meat": where it came from is not clear.  The illustrator renders the crow's "song" creatively by picturing an opened tin can and a pot.  When the crow drops the meat, the fox moves to grab it with his paws.  The stated moral is "The sweet words from the crooked fellows cause pain and sorrow."  The moral page adds to a standard picture of a child reflecting four images from this particular story.  The English runs into a problem at the key moment in the story: "The cunning fox to closed the meat in his mouth immediately."  Then again we read "The fox ate the meat delicious and laughed at him.  The crow saw the fox very sadly."  The front-cover on both sides has symbols for Green Life publishing, Green Ocean paper, and yessoy ink.  The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; it is repeated three times. There is a page of vocabulary on the inside back cover, with a picture of all six books in the series on the back cover.  The pamphlet is twelve pages long, about 7½" x 6¾".

This is the story of the deceptive second bird who counsels a first bird to drop his prey from a height in order to crack its shell.  The second bird waits below and eats the mussel, whose shell has been broken, before the first bird can fly down to eat it himself.  The stated moral is "Don't believe those who pretend to do good deeds only for theie [sic] own profit."  The moral page adds to a standard picture of a child reflecting four images from this particular story.  The editors continue to struggle with English grammar in this series.  The front-cover on both sides has symbols for Green Life publishing, Green Ocean paper, and yessoy ink.  The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; it is repeated three times. There is a page of vocabulary on the inside back cover, with a picture of all six books in the series on the back cover.  The pamphlet is twelve pages long, about 7½" x 6¾".

This is an engaging rendition of the story of the donkey who makes three trips through a stream.  On the first, he is surprised to have his load of salt lightened.  And so on the second, he takes his time moving through the stream, in order to dissolve more salt.  His owner changes the load for the third trip, adding wool to the usual sponges.  The facial expressions of the donkey and especially the master are very well rendered here.  The stated moral is "A fool thinks nobody knows what he is up to."  The moral page adds to a standard picture of a child reflecting four images from this particular story.  The editors continue to struggle with English in this series, from "strem" for stream to "more heavier."  The front-cover on both sides has symbols for Green Life publishing, Green Ocean paper, and yessoy ink.  The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; it is repeated three times.

Here is a story not known to me.  Three brother goats want to cross a bridge to better pasture, but there is a crocodile beneath the bridge.  The youngest brother gets across by urging the crocodile to wait for his meatier brothers.  Perhaps the second brother is distracting the crocodile, and the strongest brother butts him into the river.  The stated moral is "He who thinks carefully will not be cheated by others."  The moral page adds to a standard picture of a child reflecting four images from this particular story.  The editors struggle so much with English in this story that it may be hard to follow.  A key sentence comes from the second brother: "Please don't eat we up and you released us to go."  The front-cover on both sides has symbols for Green Life publishing, Green Ocean paper, and yessoy ink.  The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; it is repeated three times.

Young flies find some honey and enjoy it.  Warned by an older fly that it may impede their flying, they trust in their young strength.  They all die in the honey.  The stated moral is "Carelessness and heedless to warning of those who have experience will lead to disaster."  The moral page adds to a standard picture of a child reflecting four images from this particular story.  The editors struggle with English here, as is clear in the stated moral.  The story begins with an incomplete sentence.  Tenses get mixed up along the way.  The front-cover on both sides has symbols for Green Life publishing, Green Ocean paper, and yessoy ink.  The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; it is repeated three times. There is a page of vocabulary on the inside back cover, with a picture of all six books in the series on the back cover.  The pamphlet is twelve pages long, about 7½" x 6¾".

Here is GGE, told with emphasis on the farmer's pursuit of the goose in order to kill it.  The illustrator does an excellent job above all with the facial expressions of the humans in the story.  The stated moral is "The more the greed, the less the gain."  The moral page adds to a standard picture of a child reflecting four images from this particular story.  The editors struggle with English here, as in the sentence "His wife to introduced."  The front-cover on both sides has symbols for Green Life publishing, Green Ocean paper, and yessoy ink.  The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; it is repeated three times.
