Abu L’Hssein the Generous

This week’s story is “Abu L’Hssein the Generous,” a folktale from Egypt. This is just one of the powerful stories in the excellent collection, The Garden of Wisdom: Earth Tales from the Middle East, edited by  Michael Caduto and illustrated by Odelia Liphshiz. Notice how human morality and good natural history and observation are combined in this story. Enjoy!
