هوښیار‭ ‬هلک‭ ‬او‭ ‬داړونکی‭ ‬ځناور

When a boy visits another village, he is amazed to find the townspeople terrified of something that — just because they have not seen it before — they mistake for a terrible, dangerous animal. With his own knowledge and by demonstration, the boy helps them overcome their fears. This story is part of an oral tradition from the Middle East and Central Asia that is more than a thousand years old. In an entertaining way, it introduces children to an interesting aspect of human behavior and so enables them to recognize it in their daily life.

This is a bilingual book in Pashto and English.

For 6 years and older.
