In this 446th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Turkish Fairy Tale “The Forty Princes and the Seven-Headed Dragon.”
A Padishah (an Eastern King) had forty sons. When it was time to marry, they stipulated that all their wives must have the same father. The Padishah thought about this and eventually said he knew of such a king. But that in order to get his agreement, they would have to face a few challenges. However, he told them how to handle each one.
What happened next you may ask? Where does the seven-headed dragon fit into the story? And what of his warning about staying at the hân (inn). How did everything turn out in the end? Well, you’ll have to download and read this story to find out for yourself.
===========
Baba Indaba is a fictitious Zulu storyteller who narrates children's stories from around the world. Baba Indaba translates as "Father of Stories".
Each issue also has a "WHERE IN THE WORLD - LOOK IT UP" section, where young readers are challenged to look up a place on a map somewhere in the world. The place, town or city is relevant to the story. HINT - all places can be found using Google maps.
In looking up these place names, using Google Maps, it is our hope that young people will click on the images and do further investigations about the people who live in these towns in order to gain an understanding of the many and varied cultures from around the world. Through such an exercise, it is also our hope that young people will not only increase their knowledge of world geography but also increase their appreciation and tolerance of other peoples and cultures.
