(3) K-3 A Tibetan king puts a donkey and a rock on trial, ostensibly to judge which was at fault for breaking an expensive jar of oil. His intent, however, is to fine those silly enough to attend the trial, raising money to repay the jar's owner. The story is told with Demi's usual deft humor, and the illustrations, reminiscent of Chinese paper cut-outs, are aptly supplemented by Tibetan details. A source note is included.
