We hope you enjoy this preview of an episode from our back catalog available to our premium subscribers. Tonight, we\u2019ll read a folk tale called "The Nodding Tiger" from the 1919 \u201cA Chinese Wonder Book\u201d, by Norman Hinsdale Pitman. In the story, a tiger kills an old woman\u2019s only son. To make amends, the mother convinces the court\u2019s judge to require the tiger to take the son\u2019s place in her life. (Note: There is some mild "off-screen" violence in this vintage folk-tale.)\xa0To unlock full episodes, ad-free listening, and more, please go to\xa0snoozecast.com/plus.\n\n\u2014 read by 'V' \u2014\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
