(Bilingual English-Pashto edition) This story tells how a woman loses an apple down a hole in the ground and then makes a series of attempts to retrieve it. Children love chanting the action sequence of this cumulative tale from memory, but when the plot takes a sudden turn that's contrary to all expectations, they also learn important lessons about the nature of problem solving and discovery. The strikingly beautiful illustrations by Rose Mary Santiago invoke the origins of the story - which comes from the Sufi tradition and has been told for hundreds of years in the Middle East and Central Asia - while at the same time lending a uniquely playful atmosphere to this very amusing tale.

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.
