#india #folktale

Welcome back listeners to Sandman Stories Presents, a folklore podcast where I read you to sleep or until the next story, I\u2019m your host, Dustin. Today we are back in the book of Indian folklore written down in the Shimla Village tales recorded by Alice Dracott. In the first story, a prince is helped out by a monkey, who wants nothing more than to go home. And in the second story, the Jackal wants to be treated like a king, but there is confusion in his hoo ha.

And the podcast shoutout is to the Teacher Think Aloud podcast. This is a wonderful podcast aimed at helping teachers do better. Hosts Anna and Shey do a great job of bringing classroom issues to the show and talking about how teachers can handle them. Really good folks and I\u2019m so happy that they create content for my profession. And if you like their show as much as I do, give them a like, a rating, and a review.

And the listener shoutout is to PohnPei Micronesia. Don\u2019t confuse it with the Roman city of yore. To visualize where it is at, think of Papua New Guinea and go north east about 2000 kilometers. For miles, um\u2026. Have fun with that. It\u2019s a very wet island that has jungles in the interior and beautiful shores. The language, Phonpeien, is part of the Australnesian languages which includes Hawaiian and Maori and Malagasy. And of course I would love to visit this island some day. So to my listeners on Pohnpei, I say Kalahngan and Pwohng mwahu Thank you and goodnight\n
