About this ebook

ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 434
In this 434th issue of the Baba Indaba?s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates two Tibetan Fairy tales, each with a moral, being ?The Tiger and the Frog? and ?The Story of the Donkey and the Rock?.

In the first story, the tiger, which lives in the jungle, is hungry. He starts looking for food but finds it hard to come by. He is so hungry that even a frog will do for dinner thinking that he will catch the biggest, fattest frog.

He arrives at the pond and sees many frogs. When they see the tiger many take refuge in the pond, except for one who sits on a lily pad in the middle of the pond. A conversation follows?? Can you guess what was said? Did the tiger get to eat the frog for his dinner? Well, you will have to download and read the story to find out.

In our second story, The Story Of The Donkey And The Rock which is a Black Tent Story. A man was walking up a steep hill, trading oil from house to house. Halfway up he was tired and sat down to rest. He placed the jar of oil on a rock beside him.
At the same time another man was driving his donkey down the same hill. As the donkey passed, part of the load on the donkey?s back knocked over and broke the jar of oil and the oil trader was understandably annoyed.

Well, what happened? Did the pair agree it was an accident and agree to go their own ways or did something else happen? To find the answer to this question, and any others you may have, you will have to download and read this story to find out!

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 - use Google maps.

It is our hope that in presenting stories from around the world and by looking up the place names using Google Maps, that young people will see images of and read about other peoples and cultures from the four corners of our world. Through this, it is our hope that young people will not only increase their understanding of world geography, but also increase their understanding and tolerance of other people and their cultures.
