What the tale is about
As the school holidays end, Prince Süleyman feels sad about being away from his mother, Sultan Toplu, and wishes she could come to school with him. His friend Ant Arif uses magic to make her tiny enough to hide inside the prince’s turban. Yet preparing food at home, staying cool on the journey, and keeping still in class prove much harder than expected. A sneeze sends Sultan Toplu flying onto the teacher’s notebook, creating a tricky problem. With Arif’s clever plan, she is rescued and restored, while Süleyman learns he can manage many things on his own.
