Dipi  (English, Paperback, John Paxton)

Dipi, a young simple cow herder, wants to better himself. He has many dreams, but his biggest one is that he wants one day to be a King, but first he must marry a princess. One by one, all his family leave him to fend for himself and to pay their debts. Dipi realises life must go on without them but he has a positive attitude and a willingness which will help him on his way. He meets the wise men of the mountains; Dipi is eager to learn and they teach him many valuable lessons which will serve him well in the future. When the time comes for him to leave 'the brothers' he continues his quest to be a King and find a princess. His hard work and trustworthiness pays off and he gains the respect of those people who had doubted his abilities. Dipi is a fine example that anything in life is possible if you really put your mind to it and don't give up, even when life throws you many hurdles to overcome. We all have a part to play in the great scheme of things. We cannot alter our fate, but each and every one of us has our own 'guardian' following us through life.
