Description
The fable, told by La Fontaine, begins with Philippe, who, in dedication to God, retired to a mountain cave where his son grew up free from temptation. When, at age twenty, the youth emerged, Philippe truthfully explained to him all that he saw until they came to a party of young women. "What is that?" asked the youth. "A party of geese," his father replied. "Father, I beg you, let us take one [with us]." The umbrella casts delicate shadows on the women, while the young man's response leaves little to doubt.
