Publisher Description:

When a boy visits another village, he is amazed 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, the boy helps them overcome their fears.

This story is part of an oral tradition from the Middle East and Central Asia that is more than a thousand years old. 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 many tales from the body of Sufi literature collected by Idries Shah, the tale is presented here as part of his series of books for young readers.

This is the second book of the series illustrated by Rose Mary Santiago, following the award-winning best-seller, The Farmer's Wife.

Un petit gar on arrive dans un village et est surpris d'y d couvrir des habitants terrifi s par quelque chose qu'ils prennent -- simplement parce qu'ils ne l'avaient jamais vu avant -- pour un terrible animal dangereux. Avec ses connaissances, et d monstration l'appui, le petit gar on les aide surmonter leurs craintes.

Cette histoire fait partie d'une tradition orale plus que mill naire venue du Moyen-Orient et d'Asie centrale. D'une mani re amusante, elle pr sente aux enfants un aspect int ressant du comportement humain qu'ils pourront retrouver dans la vie quotidienne.

Ce conte est l'un des nombreux contes issus de la litt rature soufie rassembl s par Idries Shah. Il est propos ici dans sa collection de livres pour la jeunesse.

Ce livre est le deuxi me dans la collection qu'a illustr Rose Mary Santiago, apr s le best-seller prim La Femme du fermier.


Contributor Bio(s): Shah, Idries: - Idries Shah spent much of his life collecting Sufi classical narratives and teaching stories from oral and written sources in the Middle East and Central Asia and publishing them in book form. The eleven tales he wrote especially for children are published by Hoopoe as beautifully illustrated books, all of which have been commended by Western educators and psychologists, the Library of Congress, National Public Radio and other media for their unique ability to foster social-emotional development, thinking skills and perception in children and adults alike. Told for centuries, these stories express universal themes and a positive representation of important but often misunderstood cultures, showing how much we have in common and what we can learn from each other. They acknowledge a child's individuality and uniqueness and encourage a sense of confidence, responsibility and purpose. Idries Shah a passé une grande partie de sa vie à rassembler, pour les publier, des récits classiques soufis et des histoires-enseignement tirées de sources orales et écrites du Moyen-Orient et d'Asie centrale. Les 11 contes qu'il a écrits pour la jeunesse sont édités par Hoopoe. Ce sont des livres magnifiquement illustrés qui sont recommandés par les enseignants et les psychologues en Occident, par la Bibliothèque du Congrès, par NPR (National Public Radio, radio nationale américaine) et d'autres médias, de par leur capacité unique à développer la réflexion et la perception chez les enfants comme chez les adultes. Racontées depuis des siècles, ces histoires expriment des thèmes universels et donnent une représentation positive de cultures importantes mais souvent incomprises, et montrent combien nous avons en commun et ce que nous pouvons apprendre les uns des autres. Elles reconnaissent l'enfant dans son caractère individuel et unique, et encouragent l'esprit de confiance, de responsabilité et de détermination.
