(Bilingual English-Portuguese edition) In this very humorous tale, a man greedily hopes to have the skills and senses of a different animal but is so impatient to have his wish granted that he finds himself limiting his abilities, rather than enhancing them. 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. These stories are not only entertaining; they 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. Among other things, this simple story shows children how a blind impulse to 'win,' without considering the consequences, can end up having the opposite effect.(edição bilíngue em inglês-português) Neste conto muito bem humorado, um homem avidamente espera ter as habilidades e os sentidos de diferentes animais, mas está tão impaciente para ter seu desejo atendido que se vê limitando suas habilidades, em vez de melhorá-las. Este é um de uma série de livros ilustrados para crianças escrito pelo filósofo e educador afegão Idries Shah, cujas coleções de narrativas e histórias de ensinamento têm cativado os corações e as mentes de pessoas de todas as esferas da vida. Ele pertence a uma rica tradição de contar histórias do Afeganistão, Ásia Central e Oriente Médio, que tem mais de 1000 anos. Histórias de ensinamento são projetadas especificamente para promover habilidades de pensamento e percepção. Elas sugerem em sua estrutura e no movimento de seus personagens, formas de olhar para as dificuldades, que podem ajudar a resolver problemas. Dentre outras coisas, esta história simples mostra às crianças como um impulso cego de 'ganhar' sem considerar as consequências pode terminar no efeito oposto.
