EP 309: The Adventures of Two Theives and of Their Sons part 1Â (Day)
Listen Here Watch Here The Adventures of Two Thieves and of their Sons Part I Once upon a time, two thieves lived in a village. As they were well-known as thieves, every theft in the village was blamed on them, whether they did it or not; so they left the village, and resolved to support themselves by honest labour. They were both employed by a homeowner; the one had to tend a cow, and the other to water a champaka plant.

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 goblinâs cottage and devoured, for the goblin lived only on human flesh.
