Original text

Jackal is a clever chap, far too clever for poor old Wolf and sweet Catherine Crow, who just loves the image in the mirror, but will he be clever enough to outwit the wisest of all, our dear friend the Owl? This adaptation of Aesop fables is performed with life-size puppets and masks.
