(Bilingual English-Dutch 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.


(Tweetalige Engels-Nederlands editie) Wanneer een jongen een ander dorp bezoekt, ziet hij tot zijn verbazing dat de inwoners doodsbang zijn voor iets dat ze - alleen omdat ze het nog nooit gezien hebben - voor een vreselijk, gevaarlijk dier aanzien. Met zijn eigen kennis en door demonstratie helpt de jongen hen hun angsten te overwinnen. Dit verhaal maakt deel uit van een meer dan duizend jaar oude mondelinge traditie uit het Midden-Oosten en Centraal-Azië. Op een onderhoudende manier laat het kinderen kennismaken met een interessant aspect van menselijk gedrag en stelt het hen in staat dit in hun dagelijks leven te herkennen. Een van de vele verhalen uit de soefi-literatuur die Idries Shah heeft verzameld, wordt hier gepresenteerd als onderdeel van zijn serie boeken voor jonge lezers. Dit is het tweede boek uit de serie, geïllustreerd door Rose Mary Santiago, na de bekroonde bestseller De vrouw van de boer.
