For children, for the coming generations.’\n\nWhen the Emperor Hadrian gallops into the village, its inhabitants hide in fear. All except one. An old man, almost one hundred years old, comes outside to plant a fig tree.\n\nHadrian stops his horse. ‘What are you doing?’ he asks the old man. ‘That tree is so small and you are so old!\nSurely you won’t live long enough to eat its fruit!’ The old man responds: ‘if I don’t then my children will’.\n\nThree years later, Hadrian returns. Meeting the old man again, he is shocked to see that the tree has grown and it is covered in figs. The old man’s prophecy of gifts for future generations has come true.\n\nRecreating one of the Midrash’s most beautiful tales, A Basket of Figs teaches the importance of caring for the environment and consideration for our fellow human beings. Ori Alon’s enchanting storytelling and Menahem Halberstadt’s stunning illustrations bring this wise fable to life on the page, to inspire and delight young readers.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1784384720\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1784384720.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Elon, Ori|Halberstadt, Menahem\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
