(Bilingual English-Pashto edition) When a boy visits another village, he is amazed to find the people terrified of something that - just because they have not seen it before - they mistake for a terrible, dangerous animal. Using his own knowledge and by demonstration, the boy helps the villagers 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 lives. One of many tales from the body of Sufi literature collected by Idries Shah, this one is presented here as part of his series of books for young readers. This is the series' second book to be illustrated by Rose Mary Santiago, following the award-winning bestseller The Farmer's Wife.

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. ليکوال/ رسام ژوند ليک ادريس شاه ادريس شاه خپل ډېر ژوند له منځني ختيځ او مرکزي آسيا له شفاهي او ليکلو زيرمو څخه د کلاسيکو صوفي کيسو پر راغونډولو او هغوی د کتاب په شکل کې پر چاپولو تير کړ. يوولس کيسې چې هغې په ځانګړي ډول ماشومانو لپاره ليکلې د هوپو لخوا د ښکلي رسامي کتابونو په څېر چاپ شوي، چې پر ټولو يې غربي ښوونکو او ارواپوهانو، کانګريس کتابتون، ملي عامه راډيو او نورو ميډيا ادارو د دې کيسو ځانګړيو مشخصاتو چې په ماشومانو او مشرانو کې يو ډول د ټولنيزه/ احساساتي، فکري او نظري پرمختګ سبب ګرځي، تبصرې کړي دي. دا کيسې چې له سلګونو کلونو راهيسې بيانيږي، د کلتورونو نړيوال او مهم اړخونه له مثبت پیغام سره بيانوي چې عموماً غلط فکر شوي وي، او ښيي موږ څومره شريک اساسات لرو او له يو بل زده کولای شو. دا کيسې د ماشوم انفراديت او ځانګړيوالی پيژني او د باور، مسؤليت او هدف احساس هڅوي.
