Books with title Thirteen Animal Stories

Have you ever wondered why hyena is considered the most foolish animal in the kingdom? Or why hawks eat baby chicks? Or why the fox has no friends? This collection of animal fables will answer those questions and be an entertaining read! "Finally, hyena came to the conclusion that he couldn't decide which way to go. The smell of delicious foods and meats kept wafting in from both directions, and this confused hyena even more. Eventually, he decided to go both ways-but how? You might wonder. Hyena put one front paw on the left-hand side of the road and one front paw on the right-hand side of the road."
