Opis

"Money doesn't grow on trees " is the popular phrase, but what if it did? What would you do if all you had to do was harvest a crop of coins by plucking them off a tree? Sanjay, a poor village boy in Nepal learns the secret of how to grow a money tree in the hidden valley. Ram Bahhadur, his Grandfather, wants to teach him a lesson, whilst Kunda, the village head elder wants to teach him other lessons to 'teach him a lesson ' Gopal, the goat herder only wants to beat him up and dangle Sanjay from the cliffs by his ankle. His school at Chomrung wants to teach him mathematics and all Sanjay ever dreams of is owning his own pair of leather mountain boots just like the ones the foreign tourists wear. Now with his own money tree he can buy them, however he has lots of other problems to overcome. Firstly, he must learn how to come up with new and believable lies, give Gopal the slip, avoid going to America, not fall out of a helicopter or fall from the back of a bus. Plus he must make the hardest decision of his life - to let go of his dream or to let go of his life... If you want to contact the author e-mail info@brislin.de.
