Numan's Fables

By an Iraqi origins' writer, a collection of tales with Mesopotamian roots is what makes up Numan's Fables. The stories all have life lessons that will support the child future. The first fable is named "Foxes Shake Hands," and the lesson to be learned from it is the peril of befriending an enemy of one's country. The second fable is titled "The Greedy Monkey," and it's about a monkey that squanders his hard work because he is too cheap to reward his fellow workers. The third fable, The Two Birds and Their Enemy, the Owl, teaches kids that their enemies, no matter how formidable they may seem right now, have vulnerable spots they may exploit to defeat them. The lesson of the fourth story, The Three Cats, is that fighting with a friend or partner can lead to regret and the other person coming out on top in a dispute over property or assets. Lastly, the story's moral and the mute giraffe's lesson encourage children not to trust strangers and to be wary of falling for con artists' schemes that could cause them to lose everything.
