Synopsis "The Old Woman and the Eagle - La señora y el águi (in English)"
(Bilingual English-Spanish edition / Edición bilingüe inglés-español) 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. The Old Woman and the Eagle is wonderfully illustrated by Natasha Delmar, who was taught to paint by her father, the celebrated classic Chinese painter Ng Yi-Ching. En esta divertida historia, una señora se encuentra con un águila por primera vez. Perpleja por su apariencia desconocida, decide cambiarla para que se adapte a sus propias ideas sobre cómo debería verse un pájaro. Sus esfuerzos reflejan un patrón común del pensamiento humano: alterar lo desconocido para hacerlo aceptable. Este cuento ha sido presentado especialmente para niños por el autor afgano Idries Shah, quien, durante más de 30 años, recopiló historias de la tradición sufí y las adaptó a la cultura occidental contemporánea. Contados desde la antigüedad en Asia Central y Medio Oriente, estos cuentos se utilizan para ayudar a fomentar una mayor flexibilidad mental y comprensión en personas de todas las edades. La señora y el águila está maravillosamente ilustrada por Natasha Delmar, a quien su padre, el célebre pintor clásico chino Ng Yi-Ching, le enseñó a pintar.
