Translated by Marianne Martens.
Illustrated by
Kathi Bhend.
Twin humpbacked brothers, Morris and Boris, bear equal burdens with opposite attitudes. Morris, the kindly optimist, is in tune with nature and rewarded by the removal of his hump; selfish Boris rejects nature's invitations. Some of the illustrations are in color and some black and white; sharp eyes will spot the hidden animals in the tangled forest picture.
