Notes: A sheep, a duck, and a rooster become the first passengers in a hot air balloon launched by the Montgolfier brothers, Joseph and Etinenne, in September 19, 1783. The animals made an eight-minute flight from Versailles, watched by Louis XVI.

This fable is the only known edition of a completely unrecorded balloon voyage by a sheep, a goose, and a cock. There is a discussion of travelling to America - the Amazon River and Philadelphia are mentioned.
