S1 E13: Min-Yo and the Moon Dragon

Published: Aug. 7, 2021, midnight

Today’s story takes place in China where Min-Yo and her village are facing a very serious problem that only the dragon on the moon can stop. How does one reach the Moon Dragon? Take the stairs, of course! But, the problem is that the staircase disappears from time to time and has grown delicate and thin, so one wrong step will send the climber falling a long, long way down. Although even those with a fear of heights have no need to worry, because Min-Yo has enough bravery for everybody. You'll also hear Alton Chung's "The Spider Weaver", as well as Laura Pershin Raynor's “A Day at the Zoo”, about how a typical day at the zoo with her sister devolved into a fun and crazy tale. Let’s dive in!
