Book Description
جادو کا گھوڑا دو بھائیوں کی کہانی ہے، ایک جو کہ عملی فنون میں مہارت رکھتا ہے، اور دوسرا، شہزادہ تمبل،جس کے بارے میں سمجھا جاتا ہے کہ وہ صرف خواب دیکھتا رہتا ہے۔ ان کے والد، بادشاہ ممکن ایک مقابلے کا اعلان کرتے ہیں، کہ لوگ 'دلچسپ اور مفید ایجادات' بنائیں۔ جو شے ایک بڑھئی بناتا ہے وہ بظاہر ایک سادہ جادو کا گھوڑ ا دکھائی دیتا ہے، جس کی کوئی خاص قدر نہیں معلوم ہوتی۔لیکن جب شہزادہ تمبل زیادہ غور سے دیکھتا ہے، اسے معلوم ہو جاتا ہے کہ گھوڑا جادوئی طریقے سے اپنے سوار کو کسی بھی جگہ پر لے جا سکتا ہے جو سوار کے ذہن میں ہو۔ اس طرح، شہزادہ تمبل بہت کچھ سیکھتا ہے، اور بالآخر یہ جان لیتا ہے کہ اس کی 'دلی تمنا' کیا ہے۔ یہ کتاب ادریس شاہ کی تحریر کردہ باتصویر تعلیمی کہانیوں کی سیریز میں سے ایک ہے۔ ان کہانیوں نے ہزار سالوں سے زیادہ لوگوں کے دل اور دماغ جیت لیے ہیں۔ یہ کہانیاں بنائی گئی ہیں بچوں کو سکھانے کے لیے کہ وہ اپنے مفروضات کا معائنہ کریں اور خود سے سوچیں۔ صوفی روایت میں بچوں کی کہانی، تفریحی یا لوک کہانی، اور سکھانے والی یا وسیلہ فراہم کرنے والی کہانی کے بیچ ایک تسلسل ہے۔ کہانی بچوں کو مشکل حالات کا سامنا کرنے میں مدد دے سکتی ہے اور انہیں کچھ دے سکتی ہے جس کا وہ سہارا لے سکتے ہیں۔ بیک وقت، وہ بڑوں میں زیادہ گہری سمجھ اجاگر کر سکتی ہے۔ The Magic Horse is the story of two brothers, one skilled in the practical arts, and the other, Prince Tambal, considered by most people to be only a dreamer. Their father, the King, announces a competition to produce "interesting and useful devices" - the entry produced by a woodcarver appears to be only a simple wooden horse - apparently of little value. But, when Prince Tambal looks more closely, he discovers that the horse is able to magically transport its rider to whatever place is in the rider's mind. In this way, Prince Tambal comes to learn a great many things, and eventually comes to know "his heart's desire." This book is one of a series of illustrated Teaching-Stories by Idries Shah, stories which have captivated hearts and minds for more than a thousand years. The stories are designed to help children learn to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves. In the Sufi tradition there is a continuum between the children's story, the entertainment or folklore story, and the instructional or instrumental story. A story can help children deal with difficult situations and give them something to hold on to. It can, at the same time, stimulate a deeper understanding in adults.

Book Description
SINDBAD THE SAILOR In the time of Harun-er-Rashid there was, in Baghdad, a rich merchant named Sindbad the Sailor, the source of whose wealth was a mystery. It seemed to be inexhaustible. For long seasons he kept open house, and his entertainments were the most magnificent of all save only those of Er-Rashid himself. All that riches could buy seemed at his disposal, and he lavished the good things of this life upon his guests. Pages, slaves and attendants there were in great number; his garden was spacious and beautiful, and his house was filled with every costly luxury. This Sindbad the Sailor has a story to tell—the story of his life—but he never told it to any until, one day, there came to him one Sindbad the Landsman, a man of poor and humble birth. This man pleased him greatly with an apt recitation dealing with the widely different lots dispensed by God to men, and, being pleased, he was struck with the happy conceit that, now Sindbad the Sailor was at last confronted with Sindbad the Landsman, it would be no bad thing were he to narrate the story of his life so that all might know his strange adventures and conjecture no longer as to the source of his fabulous wealth. Accordingly Sindbad the Sailor held seven receptions on seven different days, and, although on each occasion a multitude of guests was assembled to listen, he failed not to address his words from first to last to his simple listener, Sindbad the Landsman. Following is his narration of the strange and wonderful adventures he experienced in his seven voyages:— To be continue in this ebook

ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 226 In this 225th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Arabian Nights story of “The Story Of The Magic Horse”. ONCE upon a time, long, long ago and far, far away in a town in Persia there lived in ancient times a King, or a Padishah, who had three daughters and an only son of such beauty that they drew the eyes of all beholders like moonrise in a clear heaven. Now it was the custom in that country for a great festival to be held at the new year, during which people of all grades, from the highest to the lowest, presented themselves before the King with offerings and salutations. Two gifts were presented and were deemed acceptable. But the gift of the third sage, who was an Indian, appeared more prodigious than all, for he had brought with him a horse of ivory and ebony, for which he claimed that, at the will of its owner, or of any one instructed in the secret, it would rise above the earth and fly, arriving at distant places in a marvellously short space of time. The King, full of wonder at such a statement, and eager to test it, was in some doubt as to how he might do so, for the Indian was unwilling to part with the secret until secure of the reward which in his own mind he had fixed on. Now it happened that at a distance of some three leagues from the city there stood a mountain the top of which was clearly discernible to all eyes; so, in order that the Indian's word might be proved, the King, pointing to it, said, "Go yonder, and bring back to me while I wait the branch of a palm-tree which grows at the foot of that mountain; then I shall know that what you tell me is true." Instantly the Indian set foot in the stirrup and vaulted upon his charger, and scarcely had he turned a small peg which was set in the pommel of the saddle, when the horse rose lightly into the air and bore him away at wondrous speed amid the shouts of the beholders; and while all were still gazing, amazed at so sudden a vanishing, he reappeared high overhead, bearing the palm branch, and descending into their midst alighted upon the very spot from which he had started, where, prostrating himself, he laid the branch at the King's feet. The King was so delighted when the wonderful properties of the horse had been thus revealed to him, that, eager to possess it, he bade the Indian name his own reward, declaring that no price could be too great. Then said the sage, "Since your Majesty so truly appreciates the value of my invention, I do not fear that the reward I ask for will seem too high. Give me in marriage the hand of the fairest of your three daughters, and the horse shall be yours." At so arrogant a claim all the courtiers burst into loud laughter; but the King alone was consumed with the desire of possessing the wonderful treasure. He hesitated as to what he thought he should give. Then the King's son, Prince Firouz Schah, seeing his father lend ear to so shameful a proposal, became moved with indignation. He approached the Shah and made a proposal….. But just what was the proposal he made?
