Why the Jackal Won't Speak To the Hedgehog: A Tunisian Folk Tale

3.8/5 ( ratings)

When the wheat was ripe, the hedgehog said, "We will have to divide the harvest, friend Jackal." The jackal, who wasn't very shrewd, didn't know that some crops grow in the ground and that some crops grow above it. He made a terrible mistake. And he still hasn't learned his lesson - although he thought he had - when it came time to harvest the onions.

Harold Berson's affection for Tunisia, its landscape, architecture, and dress, finds a perfect vehicle in this humorous and economical tale.
