The Horse Egg
by Kimiko Sakai
illus. by Kyoko Orimo
This folk tale from Bengal tells of a gullible man who buys a pumpkin in the belief that it's a horse egg. Worse still, he then mistakes a runaway fox for his newly hatched horse! A dynamic and amusing story develops, with the man chasing the fox, then a monkey and finally a tiger.
