Children can use this story understand how other cultures view the world. I love how traditional literature doesn‘t always come out and say what the moral of the story is instead, it takes you on a journey that helps you realize what it means to you.

The journey this character goes on in the story is one that shows determination and the courage to prove yourself. I believe that this story can pique children‘s interest in learning about other cultures.
