AKM Children's Art Festival / BÜYÜKLERE MASALLAR
Think of a happy country that lives in clover where the Padishah is open-handed and big-hearted… Then, what may it be… As with all humankind, this soft-hearted padishah also has a flaw: pluming himself on all sorts. The Vizier, who loves the Padishah very much, implores on him to listen to the parable of the Blind Man that lives in the neighbouring land where he is known for his generousity, so that the Padishah would draw a lesson. Together, they change clothes and dress like two merchants, whereupon set out on their way. Thereby, an adventurous journey begins for the Vizier and the Padishah. In their quest, they are to trace one mystery after another so as to unravel others. Traversing roads day and night, they listen to many stories that set examples for humankind who are weighed with many foibles. Stories of different people who are victims of foibles from different lands, and different occupations… In each, they have tactlessly made mistakes and dragged themselves into remorse that would take its toll many years over. The mistakes that have been made surely cannot be undone nor atoned but they can be, by getting about from word of mouth, be examples for all from all around, let aside merely being examples for the good-hearted padishah.
Tale Within a Tale, committed to paper deriving from the heirloom tales by Ahmet Ümit, presents, like all other ancient tales of the east, the description of the good to the humankind, who possesses both good and evil in its disposition.
