The Stranger's Farewell is a very old story, one that has entertained people all over the world for hundreds of years. A stranger visits a young couple - he has been traveling for many days - and asks for a glass of water and a place to rest. The young couple make him welcome and invite the stranger into their home to share their meal. As we know, small actions sometimes have large consequences, and this one did. As the stranger is leaving to go on his way, he says, "May the next thing you do last until you say, 'Enough'." These parting words reward their generosity in an amazing way. News of the young couple's changed status travels fast and prompts a greedy merchant to seek out the stranger in the hope of gaining a similar reward for himself. But, of course, the result is very different. This story can teach us - in a very assessable way - something about the nature of giving and receiving. This tale is set in Afghanistan where the story is known by many people. This setting effectively introduces children to a culture and people who may be unfamiliar to them. The story is retold here for young people by the Afghan storyteller and teacher Palwasha Bazger Salam and beautifully illustrated by Marie Lafrance. L'Adieu de l' tranger est une tr s vieille histoire, une histoire qui amuse les gens partout dans le monde depuis des si cles. Un tranger rend visite un jeune couple - cela fait des jours qu'il est sur les routes - et demande un verre d'eau et un endroit o se reposer. Le jeune couple lui fait bon accueil et l'invite partager leur repas. Comme nous le savons, de petites actions peuvent parfois avoir d'importantes cons quences, et ce fut le cas. Alors que l' tranger s'appr tait partir, il dit: « Que la prochaine chose que vous ferez dure jusque vous disiez "assez". Ces mots d'adieu vont r compenser leur g n rosit d'une mani re tonnante. Bien vite, la nouvelle se r pand que la vie du couple a chang , et un marchand cupide d cide de partir la recherche de l' tranger afin d'en obtenir la m me r compense. Mais bien s r, le r sultat qu'il obtiendra sera tr s diff rent... De mani re tr s abordable, cette histoire nous apprend quelque chose sur ce que sont le donner et le recevoir. Ce conte se d roule en Afghanistan, o il est tr s connu. Le contexte fait habilement d couvrir aux enfants une culture et un peuple qu'ils ne connaissent peut- tre pas. L'histoire est ici racont e pour les jeunes par la conteuse et enseignante afghane Palwasha Bazger Salam, et est magnifiquement illustr e par Marie Lafrance. | The Stranger's Farewell - L'adieu de l'étranger by Palwasha Bazger Salam, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
