A king is impressed with a man's wisdom and appoints him to the court, but his chief counselor becomes jealous.
Teaching Ideas:
Teachers will have to present this story carefully providing a context for the appreciation of folktales and legends. Teachers could pair this book with other legends from other cultures (this seems vaguely Eastern European), with other tales about wisdom (such as King Solomon and the two mothers). Students could write their own creative illustration to the question, What is Wisdom?
