(2) K-3 A farmer harvesting his apples is accosted first by a little man named Take, then by Give. Following their advice, the farmer takes all of a neighbor's pumpkins in trade (resulting in an unpalatable pumpkin soup), then gives away apples (and unsolicited advice). When the antagonists fight, the farmer wisely thinks for himself. Brisk text and exuberant illustrations support each turn of this multi-leveled fable.
