Two tellers, one creepy story. Hear the classic tale of "Hansel and Gretel" told by Ingrid Nixon and your intrepid host, Rachel Ann Harding.I want to apologize to all those who heard my version of Hansel and Gretel without the full episode around it. I realize that this is a dark story and the full episode has a warning at the beginning. I mistakenly uploaded only the story when posting it. I added the full episode when we found the mistake, but it seems that Spotify didn't take the new file when it was uploaded. I will take more care in the future and again, am sorry to those who went into the story without a warning. Support the show

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. Sometimes stories are so new and different from the ones we are used to hearing that we have a hard time understanding their value. We all have to work through a little fear of the unknown, and it takes some practice to see the goodness in new stories. The good news is, we can learn to see the inherent goodness in those stories. The more we listen to new and different tales, the more we consider the different cultural lenses through which people may see those stories, and therefore, the more we learn to love them and their tellers. In the words of Elder Gerrit W. Gong, “If we are humble, we will be surprised by goodness in unexpected places, and we may create opportunities to grow closer to someone who, like us, is not perfect.” Even if stories differ from the ones you usually tell, you can often find their inherent goodness as you listen. Today's stories will explore quirky ideas like baby birds finding their mother through song, a snake's marriage proposal to a woman, even a donkey challenging a toad to a race! Each story may seem a little odd at first, but if you listen for a bit of their inherent goodness, you will hear themes of familial strength and expanded love. On today's episode, enjoy the following: "The Woman and the Snake" by Barry Stewart Mann from The Improbable Love of Ethel and Elmer and Other Offbeat Tales of Romance (1:54) "The Three Army Surgeons" by Ingrid Nixon from Grimm's with a Twist (11:19) "Donkey & Toad" by The Storycrafters from Classics with a Twist (21:31) "The People Who Could Fly" by Kim and Reggie Harris (30:55) "The Little Red Hen" by Donald Davis from Grandma's Lap Stories (47:43)

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. Of all the things we can choose to be in this life, the most important thing we can choose to be is kind. Kindness is both free and priceless. As the great American author Mark Twain put it, “kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” In today's stories, we'll get to see how a little kindness can go a long way. How one person's kindness can change another's life for ever, and even, often, their own. On today's episode, enjoy the following: “Little Yamo and the Apple Tree” by Linda Goodman from Pass it On: A Journey Through the Jewish Holidays in Story and Song (2:42) Radio Family Journal: "Baseball Kid" by Sam Payne (16:05) The Daily Mix: "1865" with Jeff Simpson (22:53) “Hans My Hedgehog” by Ingrid Nixon from Grimm's with A Twist (31:13) “How Rabbit Tricked the Wolves” by Joseph Stands With Many from Cherokee Rabbit Tales (50:12)

One day, the snake she and her father take care of every day appears to her in a dream, and tells her she will be healed. When she finds herself free of the illness soon after, she begins living a confident life till she is again visited by the snake in another dream. This time, he declares that she will marry him! And so, believing his predictions, she prepares to do just that. Listen in as Barry tells The Woman and the Snake, from his album The Improbable Love of Ethel and Elmer and Other. "The Three Army Surgeons" by Ingrid Nixon from Grimm's with a Twist  (8:34)Inspirational speaker and storyteller Ingrid Nixon tells of three army surgeons who were so skilled that they could remove their own body parts and sew them right back on by morning. One day, during their stay at an inn, the surgeons body parts go missing – the inn keeper and his wife find a way to replace their body parts, hoping they will not notice the different when morning comes. Puzzle along to this quirky tale as Ingrid tells The Three Army Surgeons, from her album Grimm's with a Twist.  "Donkey and Toad" by The Storycrafters from Classics with a Twist (8:00)Storytelling duo Barry Marshall and Jeri Burns, also known as The Storycrafters, tell of a donkey who would always brag about his long, strong legs as he laughs about his friend Toad's short, stubby ones. Toad enlists his children in helping him win the race, and instructs to jump out at Donkey and sing their ancestral song at him as he passes by. Tune in to the lyrics of this quirky song as The Storycrafters sing along to Donkey and Toad, from their album Classics with a Twist.  "The People Who Could Fly" by Kim and Reggie Harris (16:19)Our country is still wrestiling with a history so entangled with the enslavement of fellow human beings. A wealth of stories grew up among those enslaved people. And it's so remarkable that such a persistent thread among those stories is the thread of the mythical ability of the people to fly away to the magical country called "Freedom". This story called "the People Who Could Fly" was recorded live at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival.  "The Little Red Hen" by Donald Davis from Grandma's Lap Stories (8:09)Donald Davis usually enthralls audiences with stories of his youth growing up in the Appalachian Mountains. But he tells traditional tales, too. Like "The Little Red Hen". 

What do you think of when you hear the word clever? Do you think of the sly fox outwitting the crow in Aesop's fables? How about Odysseus tricking the cyclops Polyphemus? Maybe you think of someone you know who always seems to twist things to their favor. Whatever it is, it's clear that being clever can be used for both good and evil. Sometimes, however, being clever doesn't turn out the way you think. Today's stories are all about being clever. From prideful mice to vengeful cannibals, we'll hear a wide range of what being clever can look like. We'll also be able to see what the consequences are when being clever backfires. We'll have the pleasure of hearing from Ingrid Nixon, Cindy Rivka Marshall, Martha Hamilton, Willy Claflin, and Tim Lowry.  On Today's episode, enjoy the following:Story Spotlight:- “The Three Snake-leaves” by Ingrid Nixon, from Grimm's with a Twist (11:26)Storytime pieces:- “The Magic Pomegranate Seed” by Cindy Rivka Marshall, from By the River – Women's Voices in Jewish Stories (8:57)- “How Brazilian Beetles Got Their Gorgeous Coats” by Martha Hamilton with Mitch Weiss, from How & Why Stories World Tales Kids Can Tell (2:58)- “Lion and Mousie” by Willy Claflin from Goat Whisperer (4:05)- “Mutsmeg” by Tim Lowry from Getting the Creeps (14:54)-      "Silly Jack" by Ed Stivender
