    And his other book, The Black Sheep, is a "small volume of extremely short fables." A theme? An example of one fable - The Tortoise and Achilles -

    Finally, according to the cable, last week the Tortoise arrived at the finish line.
    At the press conference he declared modestly that all along he had feared that he was going to lose, since his competitor was right on his heels.
    As it happened, one ten thousand trillionth of a second later, like an arrow and cursing Zeno of Elea, Achilles crossed the line.
