[lojban-beginners] Not a Box (a lesson in lojban negation)

[turnip <turnip@bcpl.net>]

The following is a translation of Anotinette Portis' "Not a Box" 
(http://www.amazon.com/Not-Box-Antoinette-Portis/dp/0061123226/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1
/104-8101861-8524715?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181085233&sr=8-1), which 
demonstrates nicely different type of lojban negation.

Since this cute children's book loses a lot without the illustrations, I have 
appended to each line a description of the drawing on that page.  The 
protagonist is a little child bunny.
