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 garçon arrive dans un village et est surpris d'y découvrir des habitants terrifiés 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 démonstration à l'appui, le petit garçon les aide à surmonter leurs craintes.

 

Cette histoire fait partie d'une tradition orale plus que millénaire venue du Moyen-Orient et d'Asie centrale. D'une manière amusante, elle présente aux enfants un aspect intéressant du comportement humain qu'ils pourront retrouver dans la vie quotidienne.

 

Ce conte est l'un des nombreux contes issus de la littérature soufie rassemblés par Idries Shah. Il est proposé ici dans sa collection de livres pour la jeunesse.

 

Ce livre est le deuxième dans la collection qu'a illustré Rose Mary Santiago, après le best-seller primé La Femme du fermier.
