(Bilingual English-Turkish edition) In a land where families pride themselves on the best way to prepare peaches, neighbors compete furiously to outdo one another to find the true essence of the fruit. Their ever-more-complicated extraction processes are so competitive and convoluted that the people completely fail to benefit from the actual peach. Even young children will see the foolishness of over-complication and competition illustrated in this delightful tale. 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 in beautifully illustrated editions, so as to appeal both to children in the lands in which they originated and to children in the West, the aim being to teach through humor and example, and to draw attention to our commonalties.(İngilizce-Türkçe İki Dilli Baskı) Aileler için en büyük övünç kaynağının şeftaliyi en iyi şekilde hazırlamak olduğu bir diyarda, komşular meyvenin gerçek özünü bulabilmek için birbirleriyle kıyasıya rekabet etmektedir. Rakiplerin aşırı hırsı nedeniyle her geçen gün daha da içinden çıkılmaz hale gelen has şeftaliye ulaşma yöntemleri o kadar karmaşıktır ki, şeftalinin asıl kendisinden faydalanma konusunda tamamen başarısız olurlar. Küçük çocuklar bile bu keyifli masal sayesinde aşırı karmaşıklığın ve rekabetin ne kadar ahmakça olduğunu anlayacaklar. Bu hikâye, Afgan filozof İdris Şah’ın düşünme becerilerini geliştirmek ve bilgelik aşılamak için kendi çocuklarına anlattığı, derlediği ve uyarladığı pek çok öğretici hikâyeden biri. Bu eşsiz masalların kökleri Orta Asya ve Orta Doğu’ya dayanıyor. Artık, hem ortaya çıktıkları topraklardaki çocuklara hem de Batı’daki çocuklara hitap edecek şekilde, mizah ve örnek verme yoluyla öğretmeyi ve ortak noktalarımıza dikkat çekmeyi amaçlayarak, özenle resimlendirilmiş olarak yayınlanıyorlar.
