Published: Oct. 7, 2020, 3:30 a.m.

A story from Japanese folklore of Princess Moonlight, from Japanese folklore, where a bamboo cutter finds one of those magical heaven babies in a bamboo stalk (you know, those extremely common glowing children found in plants) and it changes his life, and the whole empire, forever.

The creature this week is a dangerous Greek fox because the ancient Greek city of Thebes can't catch a break ever.
