    About this ebook

    Among the stories in these adaptations are , the story of the disillusioned cat, the patient poets reward, water gets its half share in the adulterated milk trade , human avarice gets reined in by God, best disciple is more discerning than the rest, can remove inertia with a little bit of pain. Learn as you grow ,learning from all sources even lower animals, lady capable of plucking the tigers hair can easily woo her husband, you tend to ape your companions, seed needs time to geminate, verbal diarrhea of the Paraphraser, lazy sons hit the treasure trove, necessity is the mother of action, weak legs more useful than beautiful antlers. Unobserved behavior is the index to character. Quick wit can outwit the dull wit. Grandpa knows better. Revenge is like strewn cotton wool. Brides father is always at the receiving end. There are 3 experiences of Swamy Vivekananda, stories of Akbars confidante Birbal and that another Court Jester (Shrewd way to settle usurious loans) Poetic justice to an errant Prince. If a bag of soil is heavy how about those of the arrogated lands?
    The focus is on narration with the intention of imparting English language skills, enhancing word power and even style of presentation and inculcating the reading habit.
    What is lacking is the reading material in English for students whose mother tongue is other than English. The desire to read is being encouraged by narrating stories from familiar background so that the reader need not labour to understand the contents and also the language simultaneously. The latter is made easier through known or familiar stories.
    Intention to emphasize is to provide easily understood narratives to help the reader to acquire proficiency in English and go forward in enhancing ones language skills.

    Ramalingam Suntharalingam

    R.Suntharalingam is a Banker in retirement. He has earned his basic degree in Economics at the University of Ceylon at Peradenya and a Master’s degree in Economics from the University of Jaffna. Professionally as well he has earned both Associate ship and Fellowship of the Chartered Institute of Bankers London. He has undergone numerous trainings and exposures pertaining to his professional honing both at home and abroad by the State Bank of India, World Bank, Central Bank of Srilanka and State Training Institutes in Srilanka. His writing pursuits were first confined to the People’s Bank publications, the Economic Review, “Manawa”, “Bank and You”, and a number of Monographs and the numerous official papers drafted by him and an article in “Pragnan” NIBM. India. Externally he has contributed a number of articles and letters to the Editor in Colombo based English print media since the 80s. His interest in bilingual reading, translations and adaptations dates back to his School days at Jaffna College, subsequently the University of Ceylon Peradenya and his professional home ground the Peoples Bank. Holding lowered positions affords ample mental and physical space to devote at least the spare time to more creative activities closer to the heart than the purse. The Author here is more a Compiler and Adapter than an original writer. The originality could be discerned from the presentation more than the contents for the contents are adaptations from numerous sources.
