Illustrated by
Yumi Heo.
Miserly Yoshi has no intention of paying for the eels his neighbor Sabu broils each day to sell; and though Sabu lacks customers and always has leftovers, he refuses to share. Yoshi contents himself with the eels' delicious aroma, but when Sabu suggests that Yoshi owes him for the smell of his eels, Yoshi "pays" with the jingle of coins. Told with memorable humor, visually harmonious, this perfectly paced tale is a feast indeed.
