(Bilingual English-German edition) When a little boy wakes up with a dry throat, those around him run about trying to work out what caused the condition. One by one, servants, doctors, and medical students try remedies that only complicate the situation and make the condition worse, ignoring what readers will see as the obvious solution. This is one of a series of illustrated books for the young written by the Afghan philosopher and educator Idries Shah, whose collections of narratives and teaching stories have captivated the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life. It belongs to a rich storytelling tradition from Afghanistan, Central Asia and the Middle East that is more than 1,000 years old. Teaching stories are designed specifically to foster thinking skills and perception. They suggest in their structure and in the movement of their characters ways of looking at difficulties that can help solve them. This story illustrates in a very humorous way just how foolish people can be when they fail to consider a situation before springing into action.


(Zweisprachige Ausgabe Englisch-Deutsch) Als ein kleiner Junge mit einer trockenen Kehle aufwacht, laufen die Leute wild um ihn herum, um herauszufinden, wie es dazu kommen konnte. Einer nach dem anderen, Diener, rzte und Medizinstudenten, versuchen es mit Arzneien, die die Situation versch rfen und den Zustand nur verschlimmern, und ignorieren dabei, was der Leser als die naheliegende L sung erkennen wird. Dies ist eines aus einer Serie illustrierter Kinderb cher des afghanischen Philosophen und Lehrers Idries Shah, dessen Sammlung von Erz hlungen und Lehrgeschichten die Herzen und Gem ter aus allen Lebensbereichen in ihren Bann gezogen haben. Es geh rt in die reiche Geschichtenerz hler-Tradition Afghanistans, Zentralasiens und des Mittleren Ostens, die ber 1000 Jahre alt ist. Diese Geschichte zeigt auf eine sehr humorvolle Weise, wie t richt die Leute sein k nnen, wenn sie eine Situation nicht erst berdenken, bevor sie zur Tat schreiten.
