The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Tales is a 2011 collection of stories published posthumously under the name of Dr. Seuss. The collection consists of seven short, illustrated stories: "The Bippolo Seed": A duck named McKluck finds a Bippolo seed, which will grow anything a person asks for on its branches. But a passing cat's suggestion that he wish for more quickly causes trouble. "The Bear, The Rabbit, and the Zinniga-Zanniga": A rabbit cornered by a hungry bear lies and convinces him he's dying from the lack of one eyelash, which might be able to be remedied by a Zinniga-Zanniga Tree... "Gustav the Goldfish": A boy who feeds his goldfish too much quickly discovers he's gotten in over his head. "Tadd and Todd": Tadd, wanting to look different from his twin brother Todd, uses an increasing number of methods to ensure people will know which is which. "Steak for Supper": A boy accidentally attracts a growing number of creatures when he lets it out of the bag that his family has steak for supper every Saturday. "The Strange Shirt Spot": A boy struggles to get rid of an unusual stain. "The Great Henry McBride": Young Henry McBride muses on what to be when he grows up. |

comment |
Induced Hypochondria: In "The Rabbit, the Bear, and the Zinniga-Zanniga", the rabbit sees that the bear has one eyelash fewer on his right eye. He escapes death by lying that this lack of an eyelash is a serious condition and tricks him into thinking he has symptoms like a lopsided head and a "wuzzy" brain. |

Brains Evil, Brawn Good: Inverted in "The Bear, the Rabbit, and the Zinniga-Zanniga." The huge bear who tries to eat the tiny rabbit is the villain, and the intelligent rabbit who tricks the stupid bear into thinking that his missing eyelash is killing him is the innocent protagonist. |

Grows on Trees: The paper that McKluck finds along with the Bippolo seed says that the tree will grow anything the owner wishes over the seed after burying it. The cat begins talking him into considering how to get the most out of this, resulting in them brainstorming things like fish, umbrellas, and other crazy things to ask. |

comment |
Non-Action Protagonist: In "The Rabbit, the Bear, and the Zinniga Zanniga", a rabbit is about to be eaten by a bear. Seeing as he's very small and his teeth and claws can't do much damage compared to the bear's, he can't fight the bear off. Instead, the rabbit saves his life by observing that the bear has an uneven amount of eyelashes and tricking him into thinking this means he's dying but can be saved by holding a flower to his eye. |

At the end, they're back to wearing matching clothes. |

Looking a Miffed Animal in the Mouth |
| | The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Tales / int_b7059dd5 |
comment |
Looking a Miffed Animal in the Mouth: In "The Rabbit, the Bear, and the Zinniga-Zanniga", the bear prepares to eat the rabbit. The rabbit looks up, realises he's in trouble, but luckily he quickly observes that the bear has nine eyelashes on one eye and ten on the other. He exploits that fact by pretending that having one eyelash too few is a serious, potentially fatal, situation to be in. The trope in general is subverted in that the bear is simply looking for something to eat, without viciousness. |

Inevitably Broken Rule: When Mr. VanBuss sells Gustav the goldfish to the family, he warns them not to feed him more than a little, because it might have consequences. For some time, the boy follows this rule, but he eventually breaks it out of pity for the fish. Gustav starts growing larger and larger. |
