Voice-over narration, thematic music and the artist’s hand combine to bring this classic tale to colorful life. Once upon a time, many years ago, there was a rich man who had a wagon and a poor man who had a mare. One night, when the two men were lodged at the same inn, the poor man’s mare gave birth to a colt. When the rich man saw what had happened, he grinned and told the poor man that his wagon had given birth to a colt. But certainly the mare was the mother of this colt, besides, it was impossible for a wagon to give birth to a horse. And this ridiculous argument was the start of a story that all the people in the land still remember with admiration--the story of The Clever Girl. (Fabric & Pen).
