Book Overview

(Bilingual English-German edition) In this very humorous tale, a man greedily hopes to have the skills and senses of a different animal but is so impatient to have his wish granted that he finds himself limiting his abilities, rather than enhancing them. This is one of a series of illustrated books for the young written by the Afghan philosopher and educator Idries Shah, whose collections of narratives and teaching stories have captivated the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life. It belongs to a rich storytelling tradition from Afghanistan, Central Asia and the Middle East that is more than 1,000 years old. These stories are not only entertaining; they are designed specifically to foster thinking skills and perception. They suggest, in their structure and in the movement of their characters, ways of looking at difficulties that can help solve them. Among other things, this simple story shows children how a blind impulse to "win," without considering the consequences, can end up having the opposite effect.


(Zweisprachige Ausgabe Englisch-Deutsch) In dieser sehr humorvollen Geschichte hofft ein Mann gierig darauf, die F higkeiten und Sinne eines anderen Tieres zu besitzen, ist aber so ungeduldig, seinen Wunsch erf llt zu bekommen, dass er sich dabei selbst in seinen F higkeiten einschr nkt, anstatt sie zu verbessern. Dies ist eines aus einer Serie illustrierter Kinderb cher des afghanischen Philosophen und Lehrers Idries Shah, dessen Sammlung von Erz hlungen und Lehrgeschichten die Herzen und Gem ter aus allen Lebensbereichen in ihren Bann gezogen haben. Es geh rt in die reiche Geschichtenerz hler-Tradition Afghanistans, Zentralasiens und des Mittleren Ostens, die ber 1000 Jahre alt ist. Unter anderem zeigt diese einfache Geschichte den Kindern, wie ein blinder Impuls zu "gewinnen" - ohne die Konsequenzen zu bedenken - zum gegenteiligen Effekt f hren kann.
