Through reading this imaginative tale, children learn that looks can be deceptive, and that there are deeper reasons to help others than we might at first assume. This story is one of many teaching stories collected and adapted by the Afghan philosopher Idries Shah, who told them to his own children to promote thinking skills and impart wisdom. These unique tales have their roots in Central Asia and the Middle East. They are published now, beautifully illustrated, so as to appeal to children in the lands in which they originated and to children in the West, the aims being to teach through humor and example and to draw attention to our commonalities.<BR>(¿ngilizce-Türkçe ¿ki Dilli Bask¿) Seyahat eden dört tüccar görkemli bir saraya rastlar. ¿çeri girdiklerinde mavi giysili gizemli bir adamla kar¿¿lä¿rlar ve her birinin geçmi¿ deneyimlerini ve varsay¿mlar¿n¿ sorgulamalar¿na neden olan olaylar yäan¿r.
