A Sinhala retelling of one of the Mahadenamutta stories, from a series that presents these familiar folk tales with new illustrations. Here the old sage and his band of pupils set off to work in the paddy fields, and the outing produces the sort of mishap the group is known for.
Mahadenamutta — the village know-all whose confident advice reliably makes matters worse — and his followers have been part of Sinhala storytelling for generations, and the tales are read by children and adults alike. Hingulwala Dissanayake retells this episode for the series published by M. D. Gunasena & Co., an established Colombo publishing house.
The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it suits readers who can read the language or families reading aloud to children at home. For Sri Lankan households abroad, it is a straightforward way to put a well-known story into a child's hands in Sinhala script, with pictures to carry them through it.
