The Bird with Golden Wings - Stories of Wit and Magic

Amazing book. When a small girl gives all the rice she has to a hungry bird, she is rewarded with magnificent gifts. What occurs when the girl's obnoxious, ungrateful neighbour hears the tale and tries to procure nicer presents for herself? Why did the seawater, which was previously sweet, become salty? How, if only with the help of the school cook, did the wise teacher forget his lessons? And how did the king conceal his hideous donkey ears from his subjects? Look into Sudha Murty's latest wonderful collection of short stories to find the answers to these questions and more.
