There's certainly a core of home truth in this fable about two bear cubs who find a big round cheese but are each so afraid that the other will get the bigger share that they are fair game for a fox, who eats the cheese herself while pretending to divide it for them. It's a good joke on the cubs, but it might have been a stronger one if the Aruegos had made the protagonists more substantial than a pair of soft bodied, button-eyed crib toys romping in a flowery fairyland.
