Attracted by his beautiful lute playing, a group of animals follows a traveling gypsy with great affection, even saving his life at a critical time. The story was inspired by Rousseau's painting "The Sleeping Gypsy."
The Lion and the Gypsy
In this lyrical, beautifully illustrated tale, a gypsy longs to see his old mother and father after many years of being apart. So he sets out on a great journey. Each night he rests and plays his lute. Four animals — the lion, the gray ibis, the scorpion, and the viper — hide in the shadows to listen to his beautiful music. One morning he becomes dangerously ill, poisoned by a blowfish. The animals are worried: How can they save the life of the gypsy whose music they love?
