description
n) In a land where families pride themselves on the best way to prepare peaches, neighbors compete furiously to outdo one another to find the true essence of the fruit. Their ever-more-complicated extraction processes are so competitive and convoluted that the people completely fail to benefit from the actual peach. Even young children will see the foolishness of over-complication and competition illustrated in this delightful tale. 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.


(Edición bilingüe inglés-español) En una tierra donde las familias se enorgullecen de su manera de preparar los duraznos, los vecinos disputan furiosamente sobre cómo lograr la verdadera esencia de la fruta. Sus complejos procesos se vuelven tan intrincados que las familias no se benefician para nada del durazno. Incluso los niños pequeños verán la estupidez de los esfuerzos cada vez más competitivos ilustrados en este encantador cuento. Esta es una de las muchas historias didácticas recopiladas y adaptadas por el filósofo afgano Idries Shah, quien se las contaba a sus propios hijos a fin de estimular el pensamiento e impartir sabiduría. Estos singulares cuentos tienen sus raíces en Asia Central y Medio Oriente. Esta versión bellamente ilustrada atraerá a los niños de las regiones donde se originaron, así como a los del mundo occidental. El objetivo es enseñar a través del humor y el ejemplo y llamar la atención sobre lo que tenemos en común.
