A children's story book in Sinhala, published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo. The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit readers at home in the language or families raising children with Sinhala at home abroad.
It belongs to the publisher's series of stories for young children, Ape Punchi Weerayinge Katha Mala — "the stories of our little heroes". The series was put together to teach good conduct through stories children enjoy, introducing important values of life simply and in a way that holds a small child's attention rather than lecturing them.
Books of this kind are read aloud as much as read alone, and this one is pitched at the younger end of childhood. For parents and grandparents outside Sri Lanka who want their children hearing Sinhala as a living language rather than a lesson, a short story book with a clear moral behind it is a practical place to begin. Teachers of Sinhala to young learners may find it useful for the same reason.
