With its different layers, a teaching story gives us new insights every time we read it ..and we begin to see the world, and even ourselves, differently. At its heart a teaching story encapsulates the wisdom and truth of life and transmits it to the reader in the most pleasurable, palatable way. These timeless tales will offer you hours of entertainment, but more importantly, it may well change your perception of life. These tales from Sufi, Zen, Hindu, folklore have something for who read them, irrespective of age, gender, creed or race.
For me, editing this volume has been a God sent opportunity, read, interpreting, understanding these timeless classics.
Dear Jamuna, I read this story just now - I liked it very very much - you have put it in such simple language and yet it carries such important lessons of life - I wish this would be selected for textbooks to educate our young generation!
