The Clever Boy And The Terrible, Dangerous Animal
Sufi Kids Series
Idries Shah (Q)
When a boy visits another village, he is surprised to find that the townspeople terrified of something that, becuase they have not seen it before, they mistake it 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. It is one of many tales from the body of Sufi literature collected by Idries Shah and is presented here as one in a series of books for young readers. In an entertaining way, the story introduces children to an interesting aspect of human behaviour and so enables them to recgnise it in their daily life.
