26 The well Groomed Horse [ గుఱ్ఱము పనివాడు ]

తేట తెలుగు లో మంచి కథలు, శ్రవణ రూపంలో, మీ పిల్లల కోసం.When my grandchildren of 6 and 3 years of age started to enjoy my version of classic Indian stories, I thought other children will like them too. I take a lot of effort to rewrite the stories. I make sure that the Telugu words are simple, often explaining uncommon Telugu words in English. I also take care that any violence in the story is softened to suit children. And most importantly, I am doubly careful to ensure that the values in the stories are in sync with today's sensibilities. For example, allusions in the stories to superiority of any caste is avoided.The illustrations in the stories are done by a young talent called Rashmi Prabhu. They are drawn in the style of Kondapalli bommalu, to highlight the cultural and artistic heritage of Telugu people.Lastly, when you buy these stories for your children, you are also supporting my larger project called 'Dasubhashitam', where I have provided hundreds of hours of 'free' audio content on Telugu music and literature. Dasubhashitam is a service to the beautiful Telugu Language. Please visit www.dasubhashitam.com.  I would also like your feedback on the stories. Please send it to feedback@dasubhashitam.com.Thank you.
