Syndicated Newspaper Features

1995?  Segments of the syndicated newspaper feature “Tell Me a Story.”  Various newspapers.  Amy Friedman; illustrated by Jillian Hulme Gilliland.  Various sources. 

People were good enough to cut out newspaper features like this syndicated feature often presenting fables.  For now, I am not scanning and picturing them, because I believe they all made it into a recently ordered book, “Tell Me a Story,” by Friedman and Hulme Gilliland.  I will, however, list the stories we have received from one or other newspaper.  By the way, I am not sure that the first of them is an Aesop fable, but it is certainly Aesopic.  The illustration for FG has the fox laboring between the slats of a fence to get at the grapes.
