Publisher Description (Bilingual English-Portuguese edition) A wealthy merchants prize possession is a beautiful bird. Believing that he loves the exotic creature too much to set it free, the merchant discovers that animals are sometimes better at learning by example than humans. 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 tales are more than 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. Children will learn that it is good to observe others in order to learn, and that sometimes the actions of others are not all that they first seem to be.(edição bilíngue em inglês-português) A possessão mais valiosa de um rico mercador é um belo pássaro. Acreditando que ama demais a criatura exótica para libertá-la, o mercador descobre que os animais, às vezes, são melhores em aprender pelo exemplo do que os humanos. Este é um de uma série de livros ilustrados para jovens escritos pelo filósofo e educador afegão Idries Shah, cujas coleções de narrativas e histórias de ensinamento cativaram os corações e as mentes de pessoas de todos os tipos da vida. Ele pertence à rica tradição de contar histórias do Afeganistão, Ásia Central e Oriente Médio que tem mais de 1000 anos. As crianças perceberão que é bom observar os outros para aprender e que, às vezes, as ações dos outros não são tudo o que parecem à primeira vista. Author Biography Idries Shah spent much of his life collecting and publishing Sufi classical narratives and teaching stories from oral and written sources in the Middle East and Central Asia. The tales he retold especially for children are published by Hoopoe Books in beautifully illustrated editions and have been widely commended - by Western educators and psychologists, the U.S. 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 from the cultures that produced them, showing how much we have in common and can learn from each other. As noted by reviewers, such stories are more than just entertaining; familiarity with them provokes flexibility of thought, since each one contains levels of meaning that unfold in accordance with an individuals experience and understanding.
