Fables and Words of Wisdom (Fabule și vorbe cu tâlc)
There is a man who bought this book. There is even a goat who bought this book, but ate it, so there’s no story left to tell.
People don't know much and then they look for books of advice. This is a book of advice, only it must be extracted by yourself, that's how the fables are.
Short list of things to find on the following pages: 53,162 letters, 9,111 words, 259 characters, proverbs, illustrations, ironies, jokes, synonyms, antonyms, a bunch of flies, a fox in love with La Fontaine, a flying frog, earthworms, carps, pumpkins, singing donkeys, a meditative ox, real fables from the most important authors, dogs, puppies, a donkey lion.
