Through this Tibetan tale "training of Mind" we learn the importance of mind training in order to get into real Buddhist practice. The story is among the many folk tales which my mother told me during our childhood. I am truly grateful to my mother who despite those hard early days of exile from Tibet kindly found time to marvel us with the wealth of Tibetan folk tales. I dedicate this book to her for her love and courage and for being a loving mother. Lastly I hope the tale will stir the imagination of children around the world as it stirred mine.
