Emperor of peas

Emperor of Peas; Folk Tales from Romania Written by Romainel Maite Kerminet Publisher: Abu Dhabi Culture and Tourism Authority, Abu Dhabi Center for Arabic Language, Kalima Project for Translation Publisher's note: "... When he (the Emperor of Peas) woke up the next morning, the old servant disappeared from sight, but when he left his palace, he found the dragon's corpse and the bodies of his eight brothers scattered everywhere, after the old man had offered them to the falcons and eagles. After praying and thanking God for his salvation from the evil of the dragon, and from humiliation and shame, he heard a voice saying to him: Your compassion for the old man saved your life, God bless you, and complete His blessing upon you." The Arab reader will find in this collection many of his values, customs, and inherited traditions, because Romania is an Eastern European country. For example, some of these tales show that ancient Romanians believed in fate and destiny, respected their elders regardless of age, and were optimistic about the victory of good over evil. They also encouraged honoring guests, helping the needy, aiding the distressed, and supporting the weak.
