Parent and Teacher guide
While Rabie is holding his magic wand pretending to be a wizard ... abracadabra!
He hears a series of knocks at the door. When he opens the door, to his great surprise he finds a giant Ghoula standing at his doorstep. He tries to talk to her but she does not understand a word he is saying. Rabie can see that the Ghoula is friendly and harmless so he introduces her to his friends. When she slurps her food and makes a big mess they quickly realize that the Ghoula does not know how to behave properly so Rabie and his friends decide to teach her some table manners. They also start teaching her how to read and write. In return, and to everyone's surprise, Ghoula teaches them how to dance ever so daintily just like a butterfly.
