(Bilingual English-Dutch edition) This is a delightful and humorous tale about a chicken who learns to speak as we do - with unexpected consequences. The surprising events that follow intrigue young children and, and at the same time, alert them in a very amusing way to the dangers of being too quick to believe everything they hear. Illustrator Jeff Jackson creates a lively and lighthearted world, rich in color and expression, in which anything can happen. This tale is one of the many hundreds of Sufi developmental stories collected by Idries Shah from oral and written sources in Central Asia and the Middle East. For more than a thousand years, it has entertained young people and helped foster in them the ability to examine their assumptions and to think for themselves.

(Tweetalige Engels-Nederlands editie) Dit is een heerlijk en humoristisch verhaal over een kip die leert spreken zoals wij - met onverwachte gevolgen. De verrassende gebeurtenissen die volgen intrigeren jonge kinderen en waarschuwen hen tegelijkertijd op zeer amusante wijze voor de gevaren van het te snel geloven van alles wat ze horen. Illustrator Jeff Jackson creeert een levendige en luchtige wereld, rijk aan kleur en expressie, waarin van alles kan gebeuren. Dit verhaal is een van de vele honderden soefiverhalen die Idries Shah heeft verzameld uit mondelinge en schriftelijke bronnen in Centraal-Azie en het Midden-Oosten. Meer dan duizend jaar lang heeft het jonge mensen vermaakt en hen geholpen hun vooronderstellingen te onderzoeken en zelf na te denken.
