These stories are from his childhood in India. Many of these stories were told to him over 70 years ago and he still remembers them like it was yesterday. When my Dada and I would go for our evening walks, I would be excited to hear a new story each time. Many of his stories included animals that have to solve a problem by finding a clever solution. At the end of the story, my grandfather would have me summarize it and find the moral of the story. These morals have taught me different types of lessons and have helped me learn what is right from what is wrong. We hope that this collection of stories will be read by generations of children and have the same effect on them as it had on me."
