[9] This story, reprinted by permission from the second book of the series of Jones Readers (Ginn and Company), is an especially good type of story to tell to small children, since it is full of action and of conversation, two features which they particularly enjoy, and its lesson of forethought is made very plain through the development of the story itself.

[21] Original adaptation from the folk-lore of South Slavonia. There is another and different version of “Why the Dog and Cat Are Enemies” under the title, “The Enchanted Wine Jug,” in Stories to Tell (A. Flanagan Company), compiled by the author of this book. Stories of animals are always of interest to children, and the more familiar the animals the greater the child’s interest in the story. These two versions of the above story, I have found are not generally known to either teachers or children, for they seem to have been generally overlooked in the many collections of folk-tales.
