    About this audiobook

    What is the secret of happiness, or the best thing for a wife to take with her when she leaves home? How does a man pay for the smell of bread, or decide if he is lucky? What happens when a friend steals a gift meant for you, or is careless when he tries to make his dreams of a better life come true? How can you change dirt into gold, or get what you want?

    The eight wise tales in this collection can teach us some important lessons about life.

    An Oxford University Press media production.
