In this amusing story, an old woman encounters an eagle for the first time. Perplexed by its unfamiliar appearance, she decides to change it to suit her own ideas of what a bird should look like. Her efforts mirror a common pattern of human thought: altering the unfamiliar to make it acceptable. This tale is specially presented for children by Afghan author Idries Shah, who, for more than 30 years, collected stories from the Sufi tradition and adapted them to contemporary Western culture. Told since ancient times throughout Central Asia and the Middle East, such tales are used to help foster greater mental flexibility and insight in people of all ages.







په دې ساعتيری کيسه کې، يوه سپين سری ښځه په لومړي ځل ګوربت ويني. عجيبه شکل ته يې پر حيرانيدو هغه پريکړه کوي چې بدل يې کړي، تر څو د دې له مرغئ خپل شخصي تعريف سره برابر شي. د هغې هڅې عمومي بشري خصلت ته اشاره کوي د نابلده بدلول تر څو د قبول وړ شي. دا کيسه په ځانګړي ډول ماشومانو لپاره د افغان ليکوال ادریس شاه لخوا وړاندی شوې ده، چې له ديرش کالو راهيسې د صوفي رواج کيسې راغونډوي او ننني غربي کلتور سره يې عياروي. له پيړيو څخه بيانی شوی دا کيسې د هر عمر په خلکو کې لوړ ذهني ارتجاعيت او فکر هڅوي.
