This work consists of five independent children's stories, each of which is in a separate book. They are as follows: 1 The naughty monkey 2 The frightened rabbit 3 The birds and the snake 4 The falcon Fawaz 5 The adventurous elephant.
The idea of this work is to create new and unconventional stories, starting with the common introduction in each individual story, which respects the child’s mentality and which begins each story with (Our story, children, dear heroes, is a story from the world of imagination...), and ending with the story in terms of the idea, interesting events, and eloquent language. And the easy, appropriate and accurate word; Note that this work is not complete without illustrations of the events and characters of the story. I have added notes numbered on the pages to each of the five stories above to give the artist the desired impression for drawing the characters and events of the story, as the picture is no less than the word.
The goal of the stories supported by drawings: to attract the largest possible segment of children and parents as well to enjoy reading, and to preserve the book and reading in a generation in which technology is competing with the book, and also to address the subconscious mind of the child and broadcast good and beautiful values in the form of an entertaining story whose heroes are mostly animals. I have deliberately shed light on Some beautiful and rare animals as characters in stories to add more joy and benefit to the child.
Thank you for your generosity in reading this brief introduction.
My wings of freedom:
The (soul) dreams of seeing the outside world, so it faces difficulties in achieving its dream, and on its way to pursue its dream, it meets three other souls, who are (the soul’s companion), (the soul’s soul) and (the soul’s pride), and each soul has a special story with (the soul), that Three souls are three stations different from each other. They face difficulties and a life different from the life they lived in their isolated environment. They begin by searching for their dreams, then happiness, and then search for themselves until they resort to freedom.
مجموعة من المقالات الاجتماعية والسياسية والدينية، حرص «المنفلوطي» من خلالها على معالجة شئون المجتمع. فعلى الصعيد الاجتماعي — الذي استأثر بالقسم الأكبر من كتاباته — دعى للإصلاح، والتهذيب الخلقي، والتحلِّي بالفضائل، والذود عن الدين والوطن، ونادى بضرورة التحرر من الخرافات والجهل والخمول والكسل. كما خصَّ المرأة بمقالتين؛ أكد فيهما على مكانتها وأهمية دورها في الحياة. وفي المجال الديني؛ رثى لبُعد المسلمين عن دينهم، وعزا ضعفهم إلى البعد عنه. كما ثار على الخرافات التي ابتدعها المسلمون؛ مثل: تقديم النذور للأولياء، وبناء الأضرحة على القبور، وغيرها من الأمور التي ما أنزل الله بها من سلطان. وسياسيًّا تحدث عن القضية المصرية ووصف حال الأمة المصرية المنقسمة آنذاك، كما أشاد بالزعيم الوطني «سعد زغلول» واصفًا إياه بأنه «منقذ الأمة».
Saffron fields:
At sunset, the saffron flower closes in on itself and hides.
Part of the note was hidden behind the fire, burned and hidden forever!
The ship also sank and hid in the depths of the ocean.
Musa, Farzana, Abu Musa, Faisal and Maryam...they all have a truth that they strive to hide.
In war and peace, in love and hate,
Circumstances varied, and the reasons varied.
But they all had another side!
It was not hypocrisy. Circumstances made it necessary for them to hide one face and show another. Because revealing the truth is sometimes costly, and sometimes foolish.
At other times, hiding it is considered cowardice, and showing it requires courage that they did not possess at the time...!
Perhaps we are all like them, due to some circumstance.. We have another side that we hide, or postpone its appearance.!
