Another tale relates the best of flowers.According to Birbal, clothing is the product of flowers.A tale on non-violence describes a holy man asking a snaketo cease biting things although hissing is acceptable.The stories enunciate themes which are not commonto the subtle English humor handed down over the centuries.The acquisition is valuable as a potential conversation piece.
