Answer:

I have learnt a lot of things by reading this book. Yes of course this changes

our attitude about people or life in general. How this book changed my thinking they are as
follows :
Understanding the meaning of friendship:

This book taught us about the true meaning of

friendship. And helped us to understand the relation friendship better than before.
Co-operation: This book gave us some specific examples where the word co-operation was
existed. Though we are getting more complicated and our feelings are getting narrowed after
reading the book we got to understand the actual meaning of co-operation and its importance
towards society.
Improving Mutual Understanding:

This booked helped us a lot to understand the actual and

true meaning of mutual understanding. How we can respect one-another ideas and through
negotiation we can achieve a best possible solution of any problem. This book shows us how
to implement the mutual understanding in activities.
Being United: We all know unity is strength. But it seems that we have a tendency to create
sub- group in within a group. This activities reduce our actual power. But reading this book
one can easily understand the importance and motives to be united.
Not leaving anyone in danger:

It shows us not to leave anybody in danger which is a

common task in our everyday's life. Whatever happen we need to prove that "A Friend in
need is a Friend indeed"
Story vs. Reality:

Here in the story many problem were solved by the help of magic

which can't be possible in our real life. We need to give our efforts and willingness to solve
the problems that come by.
This is how the book changed my thinking about people and that how we can relate
the book to reality.
