Remark:
This story presents the traditional story of the cat and the fox with some changes. The cat comes from the city and meets the fox as they walk through the jungle. The fox boasts that no one in this jungle can harm him. While the fox here claims many tricks for survival, the story does not show him using any. He only "thinks a survival plan." Similarly, this version does not get the cat to claim her tree-climbing as her one trick. The stated moral is "Only knowledge or expert in one thing, it is better than dilettante knowing in many things." As this moral shows, the English editing of this story suffers. Here is an example: "For a moment, there are a noisy from a hunter and a hound, they run to a cat and a fox." The outside front-cover has a symbol for Green Life publishing, and the inside front-cover repeats that along with a symbol for Green Ocean paper. The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; that symbol appears 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".
