S1 E2: The Faerie Bride

Published: June 30, 2021, 6 a.m.

Welcome to The Apple Seed! Some time filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013 we’ve been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales and more. All kinds of tales, from all kinds of tellers. Life is full of opportunities to make choices. Whether we’re deciding what to wear to school, what to eat for lunch, or which book we should read, we’re constantly confronted with choices. It’s up to us what we choose to do. It’s always nice when we make a choice and things turn out just the way we want or expect, but sometimes we get a little visit from unintended consequences. In today’s stories, we’ll get to see how some individuals deal with the unintended consequences of the choices they make.
