An old woman's amusing encounter with an eagle leads her to attempt to reshape the bird to fit her expectations, reflecting a common human tendency to modify the unfamiliar. This bilingual English-Pashto edition, crafted by Afghan author Idries Shah, draws on Sufi traditions to promote mental flexibility and insight. Enhanced by Natasha Delmar's beautiful illustrations, the story, rooted in ancient Central Asian and Middle Eastern folklore, is designed to engage and enlighten children while preserving cultural narratives.
