Dragonfly Tales

Hey story lovers! While you’re waiting for the next new story, we’ve decided to look back into the archives at some stories that got a bit lost for a while.
Every other week, we will be giving these episodes a spot light and calling them 'the lost stories'.
This story is a very famous Japanese fairytale - Momotaro, the Peach boy. He is a famous hero in Japanese folklore and there is a statue of him and his animal companions in Okoyama. (a bit like the Bremen Town Musicians!)

Hi Story Lovers!
This episode we have a funny story with a serious message. And it comes from the country of Botswana in Southern Africa. It is a beautiful country of plains and deltas, as well as peaceful villages and bustling towns and cities. You can find out more about Botswana HERE.
And this story comes from a long time ago and contains a wise message that we still need to hear today. We found this story in a brilliant collection called Bury My Bones but Keep My Words: African Tales for Retelling.

Our story comes from the Louisiana Bayou. It's a Cajun story, and you can learn more about Louisiana and the rich Cajun culture HERE.
The little song we sing is a French Cajun ditty. The lyrics are quite horrid but also funny:
Cajun French
Les maringouins l'ont mangé ma belle. 
ils'ont resté de ses gros orteils 
c’est Pour me faire des bouchons de liège,
c’est Pour boucher mes demi-bouteilles. 
Et mon papa s'en alle mulet, 
Et Ma maman s'en allait 'léphant, 
Et Mon p'tit frer' sur un ouaouaron,
Et ma p'tit' soeur, sur un coin d'mon coeur.

Hello listeners!
We are delighted to bring you this wonderful tale from Granada in Spain! Granada is a beuatiful city at the the foot of the Sierra Nevada. When we visited there, we found it very magical. You can find out more about Granada HERE.
We found a version of this folktale in the book Three Golden Oranges and other Spanish Folktales. It's a bit old fashioned about disability so we made some changes to be more sensitive. We hope you like our version.
Huge thanks to our friend Maria Gomez-Diez for her help with this lovely story.

Hey story lovers! While you’re waiting for the next new story, we’ve decided to look back into the archives at some stories that got a bit lost for a while.

Our story is all about the wise fool Nasruddin.
He’s a wonderful character whose tales are told all across the Islamic world – India, Pakistan, the middle east, turkey, Afghanistan, even parts of Greece, Albania, Macedonia, Russia, even China.
Mullah Nasruddin is sometimes called 'Hodja' – which means master, and his lessons are very interesting. He gets up to all sorts of funny antics, but we also learn that he can be unusually wise. Lots of people go to him to advice – from peasants to Emperors.
You can find out more about Nasruddin HERE and there is a lovely book of his tales HERE.
