Synopsis "The Lame cockerel: A traditional Greek fairy tale in English and Greek (in English)"
"There is no royal road to learning ..." As the poet said, fairytales are " ... echoes from the very first poetry of our life". Once upon a time Greeks and other people gathered around the Mediterranean as Plato had put it: "like frogs around a pond ...", and so they lived and created great civilizations! One of the most original figures of our civilization is folk tales. By word of mouth and from generation to generation, they have reached us from the antiquity. We took them in our hands deferentially and we pass them on to the next generations, as tradition commands. We were born and grew up in the heart of Thessaly plains. Our grandparents used to narrate to us old fairytales for many dreamy nights. Under the light of an oil lamp, in which most of the room was under shadows instead of light, the heroes of tales were coming alive sometimes making us laugh whereas some others scared. Seven + one timeless folk fairytales from Thessaly Greece that teach us and yet bring magic to us, plucked from the best moments of our tradition are ready to entertain Greek children as well as children everywhere in the world alike! The antidote to sorrow is joy! The antidote to hatred is love! After "The language of the frogs", now comes "The lame cock" that is the second fairytale of "The fairytales of the Vafio Brothers" e-book series that has both! This a story of a cockerel that although he is lame he manages to achieve the unachievable due to his cunning wit and resourceful spirit.. This story teaches us that joy and love in our thoughts bring us good luck!
