(Bilingual English-Turkish edition) A king, who wants for nothing, learns that a life of plenty doesn’t make up for a lack of skills or common sense. Once he has learned his lesson, the king is careful to make sure that his daughter marries a man who can earn his own living. Rather than the usual happily-ever-after story of a prince and princess, this tale shows children that taking the time to learn is far better, in the long run, than being handed everything on a plate.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) İhtiyacı olan her şeye sahip olan bir kral, bolluk içinde geçen bir hayatın beceri ya da sağduyu eksikliğini telafi edemeyeceğini öğrenir. Kral, dersini aldıktan sonra, kızının kendi hayatını kazanabilecek bir adamla evlenmesine özen gösterir. Bu masal çocuklara, alışılagelmiş mutlu prens ve prenses hikâyesinden ziyade, bir şeyler öğrenmek için zaman harcamanın uzun vadede her şeyin insanın önüne bir tabakta sunulmasından çok daha yararlı olduğunu gösteriyor. 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.
