Listen Here Watch Here THE MAIDEN OF THE SEA There was an old woman and her son who lived on the seacoast. She used to cast a loaf of bread into the sea every morning. One day she said to her son: “My son, I am getting old, and I feel that I shall soon die. Listen to my advice, and every morning cast a loaf of bread into the sea.”

Listen Here Watch Here ELEVENTH EVENING "You are late tonight, my grandchildren," grumbles the good old wife of Smoky Day, as she stands in front of her low doorway, peering under the folds of her dark blanket at the little toiling figures slowly coming nearer, and the many twinkling lights across the snow.

EP 298: Rabbit and the Grain Buyers (MacMillan)
Listen Here Watch Here Rabbit And The Grain Buyers Once, long ago, when the Indians lived in Canada before the white men came, Rabbit was very lazy. He had worked long for Glooskap, the great ruler of the people, as a forest guide, but his hard work was not appreciated or rewarded. He saw all the other animals idling their time away, relaxing all day long, and doing nothing but filling their bellies with food, and sleeping all afternoon in the warm sunshine.

EP 294: The Goblin of Adachigahara; The Sagacious Monkey and the Boar (Ozaki)
Listen Here Watch Here The Goblin Of Adachigahara Long, long ago there was a large plain called Adachigahara, in the province of Mutsu in Japan. This place was said to be haunted by a cannibal goblin who took the form of an old woman. From time to time many travelers disappeared and were never heard of more, and the old women round the charcoal braziers in the evenings, and the girls washing the household rice at the wells in the mornings, whispered dreadful stories of how the missing folk had been lured to the goblin’s cottage and devoured, for the goblin lived only on human flesh.

Here's my thought on Ann Arbor's PropS A and B:
@aadl.org
is amazing. 2x the AADL is at least 2x as good, probably more. So vote yes on Props A and B if you are an Ann Arbor voter please.
