Dragonfly Tales

Hello listeners!
This epsiode, we have famous folktale from Vietnam. And it features a toad! Toads are amazing! They can burrow backwards, use their eyeballs to swallow, they can shed their own skin, puff themselves up to escape predators and even use the stars to navigate their way back home. You can find out more about them HERE.
In Vietnam the toad is called Uncle Toad – you call someone uncle when you want to show them deep respect. Toad is called Uncle by the Jade Emperor himself. We found a version of this story in this excellent book The Toad is the Emperor's Uncle: Animal Folktales from Vietnam.
Please leave us a little review wherever you find your podcasts - it really helps us move up the charts and reach more listeners.

Hi 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'.
Our story is a chain tale from the Punjab. There are lots and lots of parts to this story. Can you remember them all and the order they come in?
