Neem the Half-Boy by Idries Shah

The Queen of Hich-Hich fails to follow the instructions given to her by Arif the Wise Man and, as a result, gives birth to a half-boy. This story tells how Neem becomes a whole boy through cleverness, negotiation and compromise. This story helps children learn to think creatively by using flexibility and perseverance, while also entertaining and delighting them.

This tale is one of the many hundreds of Sufi developmental stories collected by Idries Shah from oral and written sources in Central Asia and the Middle East, presented here as one of a series of illustrated children's books. For more than a thousand years this story has entertained young people and helped to foster in them the ability to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves.

Da die K nigin von Hich-Hich den Anweisungen von Arif dem Weisen nicht genau folgt, bringt sie einen halben Jungen zur Welt. Die Geschichte handelt davon, wie Neem durch Klugheit, Verhandlungsf higkeit und Kompromissbereitschaft ein ganzer Junge wird. Diese unterhaltsame Fabel zeigt Kindern, wie sie durch Flexibilit t und Ausdauer Probleme kreativ l sen k nnen.

Diese Lehrgeschichte ist eine von vielen hundert Sufi-Entwicklungsgeschichten, die Idries Shah aus m ndlich und schriftlich berlieferten Quellen in Zentralasien und dem Nahen Osten gesammelt hat, und wird hier als Teil einer illustrierten Kinderbuchreihe pr sentiert. Seit ber tausend Jahren unterh lt diese Fabel nun schon junge Menschen und f rdert in ihnen die F higkeit, sich ihre vorgefassten Meinungen genauer anzusehen und eigenst ndig zu denken.
