Product Description

When a boy visits another village, he is surprised to find the townspeople terrified of something that -just because they have not seen it before- they mistake for a terrible, dangerous animal. With his own knowledge and by demonstration, he helps them overcome their fears.



This story belongs to the rich storytelling tradition of Afghanistan. In an entertaining way, it introduces children to an interesting aspect of human behavior and so enables them to recognize it in their daily life.



One of the many teachings stories collected by the Afghan author Idries Shah, this tale is presented here as part of his series of books for young readers.



Rose Mary Santiago illustrated two other books in this series which includes the award-winning best-seller The Farmer's Wife.
