Sabra and The Lion: Malicious Words. Tunisian Folkale



Synopsis


In 'Ayoun Essid', an isolated village in the Kingdom of Tunisia where locals communicate mainly through proverbs, lived Sabra, an ambitious and idealistic girl.
After her husband divorced her (partly because of Sabra's bad habit of inadvertedly speaking "Malicious Words"), she flees her village and  people's gossip to live with a lion that she called 'Sultan', who mysteriously had humane eyes.
Together, Sabra and Sultan found the utmost happiness and enjoyment; a semi-human, semi- animal life. Sabra tried to satisfy Sultan's inner longing to be a Man! But honestly, she was also satisfying her own old desire for The Perfect Happiness.
Was she wise to try to 'Convert' Sultan into Humanity? Hasn't she escaped 'The World of Men?' Will Sabra's "Malicious Words" habit affect her life with a lion?
An oral tale adapted to written English, keeping the magical spirit of the original.
The story is built around a core Tunisian proverb: "O Sabra, Injuries may be healed with bandages, but Malicious Words dwell in The Heart and Waken as New in The Morrow".
