(Bilingual English-Romanian edition) When a little boy wakes up with a dry throat, those around him run about trying to work out what caused the condition. One by one, servants, doctors, and medical students try remedies that only complicate the situation and make the condition worse, ignoring what readers will see as the obvious solution. 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. Teaching stories 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. This story illustrates in a very humorous way just how foolish people can be when they fail to consider a situation before springing into action. Când un băiețel se trezește cu gâtul uscat, cei din jur încearcă să își dea seama de ce s-a întâmplat acest lucru. Unul câte unul, servitorii, doctorii, elevii de la școala medicală încearcă leacuri care nu fac decât să înrăutățească situația, neluând în seamă soluția de care cititorii își vor da seama imediat. Această carte face parte dintr-o serie de publicații ilustrate dedicate tinerilor, scrise de filozoful și învățătorul afgan Idries Shah, ale cărui colecții de povestiri și învățăminte au cucerit inimile și mințile oamenilor din toate domeniile. Ea reprezintă un fragment din tradiția deosebit de bogată de povestiri, veche de peste un mileniu, din Afghanistan, Asia Centrală si Estul Mijlociu. Această povestire plină de umor arată cum oamenii se pot păcăli dacă acționează fără să gândea.
Autorenporträt
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 individual's experience and understanding.
