The Man with Bad Manners -- L'homme aux mauvaises manières

Focusing on the transformation of a poorly behaved man, the narrative follows a young boy's clever plan, supported by the villagers, to improve the man's conduct for everyone's benefit. This engaging tale not only entertains children but also imparts essential lessons on initiative, negotiation, and cooperation. Enhanced by Rose Mary Santiago's charming illustrations, it is part of a series of Sufi teaching stories that encourage children to question their assumptions and think independently, bridging entertainment and deeper understanding for both young and adult readers.
