What book about swine was written by the author of Pacala?
Păcală Păcală (Romanian, from "a păcăli", "to dupe"; sometimes rendered Pâcală or Pîcală) is a fictional character in Romanian folklore, literature and humor. An irreverent young man, seemingly a peasant, he reserves contempt and irony for the village authorities (whether priest, boyar or judge), but often plays the fool. Several derivative works codify the various versions of "Păcală" anecdotes. Examples include: "Pâcală", by Ion Creangă; "Păcală în satul lui" ("Păcală in His Village") by Ioan Slavici; "Isprăvile lui Păcală" ("Păcală's Achievements") by Petre Dulfu; and "Întâmplările lui Păcală" ("The Adventures of Păcală"), part of "Legende sau basmele românilor".
Horton Hatches the Egg Horton Hatches the Egg is a children's book written and illustrated by Theodor Geisel under the pen name Dr. Seuss and published in 1940 by Random House. The book tells the story of Horton the Elephant, who is tricked into sitting on a bird's egg while its mother, Mayzie, takes a permanent vacation to Palm Beach. Horton endures a number of hardships but persists, often stating, "I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful, one hundred percent!" Ultimately, the egg hatches, revealing an elephant-bird, a creature with a blend of Mayzie's and Horton's features.
