About this ebook

A collection of short stories inspired by childhood memories that suggests better relationships can be achieved among living things given a genuine desire for tolerance. With characters ranging from an eagle who shows compassion toward one of his most sought after prey, a fish, and in turn wins a friend, to a dandelion who successfully pleads for mercy from George, an engineer with a meticulously groomed garden. These whimsical stories teach tolerance toward those who possess cultural traits different from our own.

Having practiced medicine for over 50 years, Francisco dePadua Morales, now retired, has an intimate knowledge of how human beings relate to one another. By adapting his childhood memories of growing up in the riverside village of San Francisco de Macoris in the Dominican Republic, the author tells wonderful stories in which plants, animals and humans communicate in extraordinary and fantastic ways.

"Nature is infinite" is one of the author's favorite sayings and these stories show how infinite the relationships among humans can affect one another in positive ways if only they paid attention to one another.
