Remark:
This story is totally new to me. A chameleon finds a magic sword. Other animals hear of it and make him their king. They conquer animals who will not surrender to him. An elephant hears of it and asks the chameleon if he knows how to use the sword. "No." With that, the elephant steps on the chameleon. The stated moral, not necessarily very helpful here, is "Those who think ill of the others get bad result in return." The moral page has a standard setting throughout this Series #8: a child goat and an older bear look at a book together in front of a shelf of books. The editing is poor in this pamphlet, for example, in this sentence: "It once belonges to the brave warrior and helpes him defeated all his enemies." 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. 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".
