Note 21 — PART II Selected Stories to Tell

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.
