FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This timeless story has entertained people all over the world for hundreds of years. When a stranger who has been traveling for many days stops at the home of a young couple to ask for a glass of water and a place to rest, they make him welcome and invite him to share their meal. As we all know, small actions sometimes have large consequences, and this one did. As the stranger leaves to go on his way, he says, "May the next thing you do last until you say Enough." These parting words reward the couples generosity in an amazing way. News of their changed status travels fast and prompts a greedy merchant to seek out the stranger in the hope of gaining a similar reward for himself - but, of course, the result for him is very different. This tale can teach us - in a very accessible way - something about the nature of giving and receiving. Its setting - Afghanistan, where the story is widely known - introduces children to a culture and a people that may be unfamiliar to them. The tale is retold here for young people by the Afghan storyteller and teacher Palwasha Bazger Salam, and is beautifully illustrated by Marie Lafrance.

Review "... a wisdom tale classic, retold here in the Afghan tradition. Children will appreciate its beauty, justice, and simplicity." - Midwest Book Review (U.S.)"These teaching stories can be experienced on many levels. A child may simply enjoy hearing them; an adult may analyze them in a more sophisticated way. Both may eventually benefit from the lessons within." - "All Things Considered," National Public Radio (U.S.)"They [teaching stories] suggest ways of looking at difficulties that can help children solve problems calmly while, at the same time, giving them fresh perspectives on these difficulties that help them develop their cognitive abilities" - psychologist Robert Ornstein, Ph.D., in his lecture "Teaching Stories and the Brain" given at the U.S. Library of Congress"Through repeated readings, these stories provoke fresh insight and more flexible thought in children. Beautifully illustrated." - NEA Today: The Magazine of the National Education Association (U.S.)"These stories ... are not moralistic fables or parables, which aim to indoctrinate, nor are they written only to amuse.
