review 1: A beautiful story that is a telling of a Nasreddine tale, one that has offered wisdom and delight for a long time throughout the Middle East. An additional note says that some think the stories are based on a real man who lived in Turkey during the Middle Ages. This time the young boy Nasreddine helps his father take different goods to the market with a donkey. Each time they carry in a different way, like the first time, the father rides with the basket of dates while Nasreddine walks behind. Some in the village laugh and say that the father must be lazy to ride and make the son walk behind. The boy is embarrassed so next time a different way is chosen. Still, someone is not pleased and again Nasreddine is embarrassed. The story repeats, and hopefully children will begin ... moreto understand that trying to please others is not always the best choice. It was a fun story.
review 2: This is a good story about a boy who worries too much about what others think and say. He tries several different ways to not be the object of ridicule, but it just goes to show you can't please everyone. The father is a good character who lets the boy try to sort it out for himself and shows the boy how to dismiss the murmurings of the world.You'll never please everyone. Do what you think is right.AR level: 4.0 worth .5 points less
