A Complaint Instead of a Prelude. As a matter of fact, wolves, lions, foxes, cats, kingfishers, buzzards, some other beasts, a fistful of bitters and so many feeders along with an army of birds have come to me and said that they have been oppressed in stories, because they have been described just as cruel, pitiless, sly, wicked, … Animals and everybody remind them with such nasty traits. “We, dumb animals, are not as bad as you have used to describe!” they said to me. You see, it is a serious complaint! So, I decided to consider their complaint in this book and you should not think that I have frightened to write these tales, because it is a completely right saying, even if told by reptiles, feeders, etc.
