Today's story, 'Anasi And The Pot Of Wisdom' is a folktale from Africa about how everyone on Earth got some wisdom.Free activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/anansi-and-the-pot-of-wisdomSend your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.comTranscript:Stories from near and far are adapted from a local folk tale, teaching children, new perspectives from around the world. Without much ado let's get started.Anansi literally translates to spider, and is a folktale character associated with stories of wisdom, knowledge, and trickery, most commonly depicted as a spider, in African folklore.Anansi and the Pot of WisdomAnansi, the spider loves to spin a tale! He can amuse you for hours with stories full of wonder, stories full of fun, and stories full of facts.Children, which is your favourite Story?Anandi was very nosy. He knew almost everything about almost everybody. Almost. But Anansi wanted to know everything!So, one day, he went to the house of the Sun God. "Oh, mighty Sun God! You see everything and everyone! Won't you share your great wisdom with me? I'll use it wisely to spin tales of wonder and fun for everyone."The Sun God agreed, "Anansi, I will put all the wisdom in the world here in this clay pot. You must share this wisdom with everyone."Anansi was delighted and promised to do so. Anansi took the pot home. He looked deep into the clay pot and sure enough, he saw sights he had never seen before.He heard sounds he did not know existed.He became greedy. "This is too good to give away. I will keep this great wisdom for myself," thought Anansi."I must hide it!" he decided, and he looked around for a good hiding place. Anansi decided to climb to the top of the tallest tree. There he would tie up the clay pot and the leafy branches will hide it.Children, do you think that the top of the tree was a good place to hide the pot? Can you suggest another place.NiceNow listen ahead.He started climbing the tree, holding the pot in front of him. “The climbing is hard! He thoughtHave you ever climbed a tree while holding a pot? Anansi wishes he had nine limbs! His youngest daughter was outside and saw what a hard time Anansi was having. "Father, it would be easier if you tied the pot to your back. Then all your limbs would be free for climbing."Do you think Anansi is happy to get good advice from his daughter? Think again!"She is right—that would be easier! Why is it my young daughter could think of it, while I who possess all the wisdom of the world did not?"Anansi got so angry that he threw the pot to the ground. All the wisdom of the world came flowing out of the pot. Some fell here, some fell there. No one got all the wisdom, but everyone git some wisdom. This is why, even today, wisdom is everywhere. If you listen to the stories—stories spun from storytellers all around the world—you will hear it.

Today's story, 'The Empty Pot' is a folktale from China about honesty. Free activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/the-empty-potSend your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.comTranscript:Once upon a time, in China, there was a kind and hardworking boy named Ping. Ping loved flowers and plants, and he could make anything grow beautifully. He seemed to possess a Green thumb.One day, the Emperor announced a special contest. He wanted to choose the next Emperor so that he could train the successor.He gave every child in the kingdom a seed. He said, "Whoever grows the most beautiful flower from this seed will become the next Emperor."The emperor distributed the seeds to all the children who arrived at his palace. Ping was also there.Ping was extremely excited!He carefully and with all his love planted his seed in a pot and took care of it every day.Children, how do you think Ping took care of the seed?Indeed, for the next few months he took utmost care of his seed. He watered it adequately, gave it the right amount of sunlight, and made sure it had good soil. Unfortunately, no matter what he did, nothing grew. Weeks passed, and the pot stayed empty. Ping was sad and worried, but he kept trying.Finally, the day of the contest arrived. All the children brought their pots to the palace, filled with big, colorful flowers.Children, please name some of the flowers you think were brought in by the children?That's nice.Yes! There were pretty petunias, dazzling dahlias, and lovely lilies.Ping felt embarrassed because his pot was still empty, but he decided to be brave and bring it anyway.When the Emperor saw all the beautiful flowers, he frowned. Then he saw Ping's empty pot and smiled.He said, "Ping is the winner! He will be the next Emperor." Everyone was surprised.Children, can you guess why?The Emperor explained, "The seeds I gave you were boiled, so they couldn't grow. Ping was the only one honest enough to bring the truth."Ping became the next Emperor, and everyone learned that honesty is the most important thing of all.

The cool, damp air smelled delicious as I ambled up the gravel road. I've been up and down ladders and scaffolding for exhibit construction lately, and so I haven't had the energy for big bike rides in the afternoon. That's fine. I will still be able to bike once the mosquitoes hatch, but I won't be able to walk slowly without a head net. When the blossoms of a honeysuckle bush caught my eye, I was even happier for my slow pace. I stopped to admire the prismatic raindrops caught under each flower's chin.

Today's story-Watching the Garden is a folktale from Thailand about a little boy trying to get the beans from his garden back.To find out if he succeeds, listen to the storyFree activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/archive-watching-the-gardenSend your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.comTranscript:Once in Thailand, a little boy was sent to watch the garden by his grandfather. But after a while he grew bored and went off to play. As soon as he left, a crow swooped down and stole some beans. Just then, the boy's grandfather came and was most annoyed. After some time, the boy returned with a smile, which quickly turned upside down when he saw his grandfather's face.“Look what happened when you left,” the old man said to the boy.“We need those beans. You should have watched. It was your work.”The boy felt very sad and wanted to help.He decided to get the beans back from the crow. So he ran to a hunter and said, “Please sir, shoot an arrow at that crow so he will drop the beans he stole.”“Why should I bother the crow?” asked the hunter. “You made the mistake, not the crow.”The boy walked on until he found a mouse.“Please little mouse,” he said. “Chew the hunter's bowstrings so he will shoot an arrow for me.”“I am not mad at the hunter,” said the mouse, “it's your problem”.So, the boy walked on soon he saw a cat and said, “Please friend cat, nip that mouse so it will help me.”But the cat too refused.Children, who do you think the little boy would meet next?Exactly -a dog!So, the boy met a dog.“Dear dog,” he said. “Chase that cat so it will nip the mouse and help me.”“Chase him yourself,” replied the dog. “I am busy.” Then the boy found a hammer and begged him to beat the dog.“I am too tired,” said the hammer.So the boy ran to a fire.“Fire, strong fire,” he said, “Burn that stubborn hammer so it will agree.”“Too much work,” sizzled the fire.Children , let's list all the people and things that the boy metYes- the hunter, the mouse, the cat, the dog, the hammer, and the fire.Next the boy pleaded with some water, “Pour yourself on the fire, dear water, to help me.”“But I like that fire,” replied the water.So the boy asked the earth to cover the water but the earth refused to.Then the boy found an elephant and begged, “Could you please pound the earth so it will cover the water.”The elephant shook his trunk.So the boy sat down and cried.Children, why did the boy cry?Yes, the boy cried as he was sad about losing the beans and wanted to get them back. But no one was helping him.At that time, a little mosquito flew around him. The boy suddenly caught it.“Now, little mosquito,” he said, “Fly into the elephant's ears and annoy him or else squeeze you to death.”The mosquito was scared. He flew into the elephants ear.The elephant was scared and he pounded the earth.The earth was scared and it covered the water.The water was scared and fell on the fire.The fire was scared and ran to burn the hammer.The hammer was scared and threatened the dog.The dog was scared and chased the cat.The cat was scared and ran to nip the mouse.The mouse was scared and ran to bit the bowstring.The hunter was scared and he shot an arrow.The arrow scared the crow.The crow dropped the beans and they fell right into the garden again.The grandfather was delighted and forgave the boy at once. then they enjoyed a meal of the best noodles and the freshest vegetables.But after that the boy always watched the garden very carefully and he waited until he was all finished before he went to play.Try to recall all the events in the story.And remember that we must finish our work before running off to play.

We're back with Part 2 of my conversation with Chris Germer, a clinical psychologist and lecturer on psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and we're talking about fierce compassion, which is something so many of us are trying to figure out right now. When there's so much pain and hurt in the world, we want to be a voice. We want to speak up and speak out. We want to take action, and we want to do so from a place where we are healing pain.

I've been waiting my whole life to talk to Chris Germer. He is a clinical psychologist and lecturer on psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and he co-developed the Mindful Self-Compassion program with Kristin Neff, which has been taught to 200,000 people worldwide. I recently read an article written by Chris called “The Near and Far Enemies of Fierce Compassion,” and as soon as I read it, I said, “Put him on the podcast list. I've gotta talk to him.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
