These six original stories by Abraham Soyer are translated from Hebrew into English by Rebecca Beagle and Rebecca Soyer.
- Yemima, a courageous little girl who outwits a wolf and outfoxes a fox in a lively, humorous story...
- Sly-Fox himself, fooled by Yemima, outsmarted even by the fish and the rabbits, left alone and hungry on a hill near the lake.
- The most foolish animals of all: Aryeh-ben-Gadi the Lion, and Fox-of-the-Burnt-Tail, whose greed is matched only by their gullibility...
- A poor woman's sad tears for her children, and a mysterious and magical angel of goodness...
- A wise fable of the true meaning of immortality...
- A woman whose virtue and honesty are rewarded by the magic of flying money.
