All About Tortoise

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book contains sixty-five old-time bedtime stories! Two opposite faces of Tortoise's character are revealed here: the good and the bad. Tortoise, once loved and respected for his kindness, hard work, persistence, patience, wisdom, and super intelligence to dig out and solve the toughest puzzles or the most difficult and mysterious problems, is the same Tortoise who lost all that to lying, tricking, selfishness, revengefulness, greed, stealing, jealousy, and exploiting others' weaknesses under the pretense of helping when he is actually out to hurt those he claims to help so as to achieve his goals. Parents, teachers, or others who use these stories for moral and life skills education should emphasize genuine moral values or virtues and also point out that how one gets to one's goal should be as morally sound as the goal itself. So their discretion is crucial when addressing moral relativism, if any is obvious.
