(Bilingual English-Spanish edition / Edición bilingüe inglés-español) When a good-natured lion, king of all the animals, sees his reflection in a pool of water for the first time, he gasps at the fierce creature staring back at him and is too frightened to drink - until, finally, he overcomes his fear. Children learn through the lion how to deal positively with the fears and inhibitions that so often arise from situations they may not yet understand. Originally told by the 13th-century Sufi poet Jalaluddin Rumi, The Lion Who Saw Himself in the Water is one of a series of teaching stories that were collected by Idries Shah and that have been used in the East for hundreds of years as educational instruments to help children understand life. Ingrid Rodriguez's beautiful illustrations bring this children's version to life with warmth, humor and a distinctive richness of detail.
Cuando un león bondadoso, rey de todos los animales, ve su reflejo en un charco de agua por primera vez, jadea con miedo ante la fiera criatura que lo mira fijamente, y está demasiado asustado para beber, hasta que, finalmente, supera su temor. Los niños aprenden a través del león cómo lidiar positivamente con los miedos e inhibiciones que tan a menudo surgen de situaciones que tal vez aún no comprendan. Originalmente contada por el poeta sufà del siglo XIII Jalaluddin Rumi, El león que se vio en el agua es una de la serie de historias de enseñanza que fueron recopiladas por Idries Shah y que se han utilizado en Oriente durante cientos de años como instrumentos educativos para ayudar a los niños a comprender la vida. Las hermosas ilustraciones de Ingrid RodrÃguez dan vida a esta versión infantil con calidez, humor y una distintiva riqueza de detalles.
