This book I added in as a SOTW recommended resource from Chapter 7 from the activity book. However, after getting the book from the library, and looking it over, we decided not to use it. They are early reader level stories. The first story is about a man, Abu Ali, who went to town and bought 9 donkeys. He kept losing one, and finally asked his friend where the last donkey was. His friend told him he saw 10 donkeys, the 8 following him, the one he was riding (which he kept forgetting to count), and himself, Abu Ali, for not figuring it out.
The next two stories were also the same silly sort of story. The second Abu Ali tries to prove he is stronger than his friends by staying outside in the cold all night, and his friends tell him he lost because he looked at a candle in a window, and that kept him warm, and he tried to trick them back by trying to cook a meal for them over a candle.
The third story was about how he went to his friends house, tried to stuff extra food into his pockets by saying his jacket was hungry, so he wouldn't have to cook the next day. The next morning, while he was sleeping, another friend came by to pick up the jacket he had borrowed, and found the extra food and ate it.
