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. There exist the expressions, ‘What goes around comes around' and ‘You reap what you sow'. And if we had to put it more succinctly, we could call it simply, “Karma”, this idea that one's actions – whether good or bad – influence the future that individual. It's a pretty common theme in storytelling. And today's episode is full of karmic stories that we know you'll enjoy. On today's episode, enjoy the following: "The Lion and the Mouse" by Sheila Starks-Phillips Tater and His Musical Adventure and Other Fun Tales (1:37) "The Little Red Hen" by Diana Ferlatte from Knick-Knack Paddy Whack (12:16) The Daily Mix: "Coco" with Jeff Simpson (19:25) "The Swineherd" by Randel McGee from Hans Christian Andersen- The Man and his Tales (26:34) "North Wind and Sun" by Pam Faro from Why Didn't I Think of That?: Seeking Solutions- Some Sassy, Some Silly, Some Smart (42:50) Radio Family Journey: "Risk Assessment" by Sam Payne (50:47)

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. Who the heck are we anyway? Our personal identity may be defined by anything from our culture, our family, our religion, our values, our education, and more. Based upon all the factors of our lives, how do we define ourselves? What are we? Today's collection of stories examines the “what” and the “why” of who we are. On today's episode, enjoy the following: "Ten Thousand Treasure Cave" by Eth-Noh-Tec from Treasure Bag of Asian Stories (2:41) "What Is Your Deepest Desire" by Pam Faro from Andalusian Trilogy: Stories of Jews, Christians, and Muslims of Medieval Spain (19:18) "Wave" by Anne Shimojima (21:50) "Anansi's Children" by Charlotte Blake-Alston from Bit 'O This-Bit 'O That (30:43) "Ash Grove" by Diane Edgecomb from In The Groves (37:11) "Heaven and Hell" by Motoko from Tales of Now & Zen (39:40) "Then There's Me" by Michael Reno Harrell from Then There's Me (44:44) The Radio Family Journal: "Wherever You Go" by Sam Payne (50:09)

There are many stories about princesses. They're part of the classic recipe for a good fairy tale. Throw one in with a pinch of love, a humble prince, and some evil witches, and you've got a story sure to please the masses. While we love any tale of strong, independent women, we also can't seem to get enough stories about a love so deep that a couple simply can't go on one without the other. Maybe it's because we all want that kind of love in our own lives. Whatever it is, we have some classic princess tales here today along with a tall tale about becoming a bear, another tale about becoming a worm, and a debate that occurs without words. Welcome to The Apple Seed. On today's episode, enjoy the following: “The White Trout” by Simon Brooks from A Tangle of Tales (3:06) Radio Family Journal: "Sailing" by Sam Payne (15:33) The Daily Mix: "20,000 Hertz" with Stewart Foster (22:24) “Sign Language Debate” by Pam Faro from Andalusian Trilogy: Stories from Jews, Christians, and Muslims of Medieval Spain (30:13) “How Bill Greenfield Moved in With the Bears” by Joseph Bruchac from Adirondack Tall Tales: Volume One: The Bill Greenfield Stories (39:12) “The Worm Story” by Sheila Arnold from Mini, Many, Minnie Tales (47:27) “Beeping Slooty” by The Storycrafters from Classics with a Twist (50:46)

Welcome to another episode of The Apple Seed! Today we're starting off with a tale about the magical lengths a couple will go to in order to be together with Sheila Arnold's, “Simon and Susannah”. Following that, we'll hear “Molly Whuppie” by Beatrice Bowles, where a young girl uses her brains and brawn to protect herself and her sisters. Then Pam Faro will share “Rabbi Abraham Ben Ezra and the Bishop” about a rabbi who is sold into slavery and must use his wisdom to gain his freedom again. Finally we'll enjoy some poetry with Jerry Brooks', “The Free Wind.” You won't want to miss a second! On today's episode, enjoy the following: “Simon and Susannah” by Sheila Arnold on Hands Wide Open (4:01) The Daily Mix: "Bearskinner" with Paul Ricks (18:44) “Molly Whuppie” by Beatrice Bowles on Spark Catchers (26:30) “Rabbi Abraham Ben Ezra and the Bishop” by Pam Faro on Stories of Jews, Christians, and Muslisms of Medieval Spain (42:17) “The Free Wind” by Jerry Brooks on Shoulder to Shoulder (52:20)

A tale from Medieval Andalusia teaches us that people have been trying to figure out how to treat each other nicely for a very long time.

In exchange for its freedom, a captured songbird gives three bits of wise counsel to its captor.

How do you feel about failure? It's not something many people enjoy, yet it is something we all have to deal with. Absolutely everyone fails at something at some point. Maybe there are some people who don't ever seem to fail, but they definitely have moments you may not know about that are less successful. With all the failure in the world, we might start to think that things aren't looking too good. But is there another side to failure? What are the benefits to losing? As it turns out, failure is the way we learn. If you talk to successful people, they'll often describe their first attempts as being failures, but they learned and kept going. Feeling the occasional pain of failure allows us to appreciate fully the joy of success. Here on the Apple Seed we have put together a few stories that may not seem like successes at first, but things turned around with some new ideas and a little work.  On today's episode, enjoy the following:“The Diffendaffer Taffy Cafe” by Laura K. Deal from The Diffendaffer Taffy Cafe (8:17)“Two Bears” by Laura Simms from Four Legged Tales: Animal Stories from Here and Away (4:36)“Armadillo Recon Unit” by Bil Lepp from The Divine Bovine (6:01)“When the Cat Came to Mohammed” by Pam Faro from Andalusian Trilogy: Stories of Jews, Christians, and Muslims of Medieval Spain (4:53)“The King of the Clams” by Bill Harley from Blah Blah Blah (14:53)Radio Family Journal: "Second Day of College" (6:04)

On today's episode, enjoy the following: “The Diffendaffer Taffy Cafe” by Laura K. Deal from The Diffendaffer Taffy Cafe (8:17) “Two Bears” by Laura Simms from Four Legged Tales (4:36) “Armadillo Recon Unit” by Bil Lepp from The Divine Bovine (6:01) “When the Cat Came to Mohammed” by Pam Faro from Andalusian Trilogy (4:53) “The King of the Clams” by Bill Harley from Blah Blah Blah (14:53) Radio Family Journal: "Second Day of College" (6:04)

Who has made a difference in your life? Maybe it was your mom or dad, maybe it was a good friend, maybe even a stranger who gave you a compliment at the mall. Sometimes it's the people you least expect to help you make a change. Regardless of who it is, one thing is clear. Everyone is capable of making a difference. It's just a matter of what we choose to do with our abilities. How is it that even small things can have such a big effect on people's lives? We don't realize that little events often result in a long domino effect. So next time you ask if you really can make a difference, remember what you heard today about people old, young, big and small making a big difference through their little efforts. On today's episode, enjoy the following:“Come With Me and Be Free” by Kate Dudding from People Who Made a Difference (12:11)Our first story today comes from a person who specializes in true stories about people who made a difference. Her name is Kate Dudding and she has several albums, each of which has won a national storytelling award. This story certainly deserves an award, just like the main character: a young boy who grew up working in a carpet factory in order to pay off his family's debts. But working there, essentially a slave, didn't stop him from wanting better for himself and his peers. “Clever Counting” by Pam Faro from Why Didn't I Think of That?: Seeking Solutions- Some Sassy, Some Silly, Some Smart (11:19)Pam Faro says that storytelling is her calling and believes that storytelling can make a difference. This just might be true. We can learn a lot from stories if we pay attention. In this one, a beautiful leopard is ready to get married. The only question is to who? She has lots of options but she doesn't want just anyone. She wants someone that is both strong and clever. So she devises a plan that will help her find someone that fits that description. “Isaac and the Glum Drum Bridge” by Donna Washington from A Tureen of Tales (9:28)Dreams can be strange things. They can be so strange it makes you wonder what was wrong with the food you ate last night. They can also be so real that you think they actually happened. But what would you do if your dream told you to go somewhere or do something. Would you listen? Or would you just think it was just a crazy dream? Donna Washington has a story about just such a situation. Her love for stories grew when she was just a little girl listening to her father weave tales at the dinner table. Since, she has gone on to gather awards in vocal storytelling as well as for her children's books. “The Evergreens” by Odds Bodkin from The Evergreens (7:44)Odds Bodkin likes to, as he says, flavor his stories with music. He believes that ethical lessons are best learned when we are thoroughly entertained. This next story teaches all about the value of kindness and compassion as it follows a little bird who has broken its wing. At first, all of the trees are too busy and self important to notice such a small bird, but a kind evergreen tree is willing to look down and help it survive the winter. While it didn't take much work for the evergreen and its friends to help the bird, it made a big difference. “A Ride to Remember” by Glenda Bonin from Dust Vail Tales: Growing Up on The Empire Ranch in Arizona (5:55)The experiences we have while we are growing up have a great effect on who we become later in life. What we learn as kids sticks with us for a long time. Glenda Bonin tells a story about a girl named Dusty who grew up on a ranch. Her experiences there shaped her life in numerous ways. She was born in a time when girls weren't often allowed the same privileges as a boy but since she was the oldest child, she was able to help on the ranch. 

On today's episode, enjoy the following: “Come With Me and Be Free” by Kate Dudding from People Who Made a Difference (12:11) “Clever Counting” by Pam Faro from Why Didn't I Think of That? (11:19) “Isaac and the Glum Drum Bridge” by Donna Washington from A Tureen of Tales (9:28) “The Evergreens” by Odds Bodkin from The Evergreens (7:44) “A Ride to Remember” by Glenda Bonin from Dust Vail Tales: Growing Up on The Empire Ranch in Arizona (5:55)

Growth can be gritty. Life requires that we go through this constant metamorphosis, and it provides us with relationships that constantly show us the things we need to change. The people we love hold up mirrors to us over and over again, to help us face the parts of ourselves we are initially afraid of. Sometimes we let our pride blind us to that need for growth. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by the list of things we know we need to change. Sometimes we're just tired. We're human, and that's ok, but we must not forget that the ability to change is a divine gift. There is an important beauty in working at growth one step at a time… the more weaknesses you see, the closer you are to the Light. On today's episode of The Apple Seed, we'll catch ourselves cheering the characters on as they keep trying and learning and growing! Perhaps we can practice seeing ourselves the way we see characters in a story – we are worth loving even in our imperfection, and we can become who we want to become with others' help.  On today's episode, enjoy the following:"Mira Massimo!" by Pam Faro from Why Didn't I Think of That?: Seeking Solutions – Some Sassy, Some Silly, Some Smart (10:52)Our first story comes from gifted storyteller and musician Pam Faro. She tells of a father and son who are misjudged on their trek to town – with every passing judgement, they adjust to adhere to the eyes of their passers-by, until things go terribly wrong. As Pam Faro pulls from her album Why Didn't I Think of That?: Seeking Solutions – Some Sassy, Some Silly, Some Smart, she'll use energy and song to show us that, sometimes, the mirrors others hold up will show that our way of life is working just fine, and that we do not need to change something just because someone else misunderstands it.  "It's How You Say It" by Len Cabral from It's How You Say It (5:35)In this next piece, "It's How You Say It", Award-winning, master storyteller Len Cabral illustrates how we can find good in unexpected places, if we have the courage to look.  "Lei Queen" by Jeff Gere from Guardians of the Trees: Inspiring Tales of Hawaii (8:09)As Jeff Gere tells of his peaceful conversation with a bold local islander, he illustrates the evolutionary power that love can bring to one's life. Listen in as Jeff regales the story "Lei Queen" from his album Guardians of the Trees: Inspiring Tales of Hawaii, and shows us that even those who seem rough around the edges have done their share of growing, too. "The Nails and the Fencepost" by Jenni Cargill-Strong from Reaching for the Moon II (3:32)Award-winning Australian storyteller Jenni Cargill-Strong tells of a man with a terrible temper. When he finds the desire to change, he consults the town wise man, who presents him with a strange but powerful object lesson as a cure for his anger.  "Three Minstrels" by Dolores Hydock from Silence: A Medieval Adventure in Story and Song (16:50)This story, as told by Dolores Hydock, is of a young boy who runs from home to follow and be taught by two skilled minstrels. As the boy grows older, his skills surpass that of the two master minstrels. They grow jealous of his talent, and devise a plan to be rid of him.

What are we? Our personal identity may be defined by anything from our culture, family, religion, values, education, and more. Based upon life's many factors, how do we define ourselves? Today's collection of stories examines the what and why of who we are. Storytellers Pam Faro, Anne Shimojima, Charlotte Blake-Alston, Diane Edgecomb, Motoko, Michael Reno Harrell, Kikuchi Yngojo, Robert & Nancy Wang teach us more about our identity, and what we can become.  "Ten Thousand Treasure Cave” by Kikuchi Yngojo, Robert & Nancy Wang (15:38; Treasure Bag of Asian Stories)When a poor brother and sister are gifted with a special reward for their kindness, it soon becomes the object of desire of a wicked empress. The two must counter her designs and protect themselves, for their own sakes and the sake of their village.  “What is Your Deepest Desire?” by Pam Faro (1:41; Andalusian Trilogy: Stories of Jews, Christians, and Muslims of Medieval Spain)The two men in our next story experience something similar; when the two are nearly runover, one responds with surprising compassion, wishing the offender receives whatever is his “deepest desire.” “Wave” by Anne Shimojima (7:41, Sakura Tales; Stories from Japan)A respected village man notices a tsunami looming in the distance, and must choose between his wealth and the safety of his people to send a signal to warn them of the danger.  “Anansi's Children” by Charlotte Blake-Alston (5:48; Bit 'O This-Bit 'O That)Anansi is an Akan god of storytelling, oftentimes in the form of a spider. In this tale, his sons collaborate to save their father, each using their own unique talents to do so. “Ash Grove” by Diane Edgecomb (2:15; In The Groves)Diane Edgecomb takes us to a peaceful Ash Grove, laced with song,  where we might reflect on our lives. “Heaven and Hell” by Motoko (5:58; Tales of Now & Zen)Motoko tells of a woman who consults with a Buddhist monk on the difference between heaven and hell. He shows her two images of the same scene – with one important difference. “Then There's Me” by Michael Reno  Harrell (4:07; Then There's Me)Michael Reno Harrell sings of finding identity through various stages of life, and finding peace with sense of self. Radio Family Journal: "Wherever You Go" (5:53)Sam reflects upon, perhaps, a deeper meaning to the phrase, "Wherever you go, there you are".

Here come the cats, big cats, small cats, soft cats, mean cats. Enjoy Tim Lowry telling "Jack and the Cat Girl" and Pam Faro telling "When the Cat came to Mohammad.

Henry Nelson Coleridge, nephew of the famous English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, took notes about things he heard Samuel say at gatherings of family and friends from 1822 to 1834. He figured they might someday be worthwhile biographical records about the life of his famous uncle. After Samuel's death, Henry published the notes, bringing to light one of history's most oft repeated quotes about poetry:“I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry. That is, prose equals words in their best order; poetry equals the best words in the best order.”And while we certainly have a lot of “words in their best order” in our collection of fairytales and folktales, you'd be surprised how many of those pieces of prose toe the line of poetry. Whether it's short, repeated phrases (“I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow the house down”), rhymes (“Jack and Jill went up the hill”), or even just the performative style of speaking (“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!”), poetry fits right into the fairytale crowd. So today, we've pulled out a whole stanza of poetic folktales and rhymes from our library, from the naturalist poetry of Doug Elliott to the rhymed adventures of Linda Gorham. Join us on a rhythmic journey to the land where poetry and prose meet: the land of storytelling. On today's episode, enjoy the following:“Frogs, Guardians of Water” by Doug Elliott (12:57)This poetic creation story recounts the history of water.  When the creatures of the earth begin to take their water for granted, the wells of life run dry—literally and figuratively. Will the great council of animals be able to restore the flow of the creator's greatest gift? And who will the council select to guard that gift forever more? Well, the title should give you a pretty good hint. This story is from the famous naturalist Doug Elliott's collection of bush folktales called Bullfrogs on Your Mind. See if you can catch the quick, four-line poems that Doug sneaks into this story—sometimes they're over before you even realize they rhymed!  “The Artist” by Ted Fink (6:50)Written by Ted Fink himself, and part of a collection of newer work from the Philadelphia storyteller called The New Stuff: Stories ‘n Songs, this longform poem tells the tale of why Ted grew into a storyteller. He compares his very conservative aunt Seely to his seemingly mysterious uncle Lou. When Ted finds one of Uncle Lou's beautiful wood carvings relegated to a shelf in the basement, he comes to better understand the price of living your dreams, and why those dreams sometimes end up on the shelf.  “Three Poems of Arab Andalusia” by Pam Faro (2:49)13th-Century Spanish writer Ramon Llull (yuh-ee) published “The Book of the Gentile and the Three Wise Men,” a remarkable work that tells of three teachers—a Jew, a Christian, and a Muslim—amiably conversing together about their three faiths. At the end of the day, they agree to meet again and again to repeat the rich experience. This medieval story was the inspiration for Pam Faro's Andalusian Trilogy collection, which includes offerings from each of the three Abrahamic faith traditions, including these pieces of translated Arabic poetry. “The Road Not Taken” by Joseph Sobol (4:25) Joseph Sobol brings Robert Frost's classic poem to life by setting the lyrics to his own jaunty, folksy piece of music. Though Frost initially wrote the now famous poem as a joke for a friend, “The Road Not Taken” would go on to be a beloved part of the American poetic cannon as a fairy-tale-like meditation on choice. It was originally published in Frost's 1916 collection, Mountain Interval. Sobol is both a professional folklorist and cittern player of Tennessee fame, bringing poetry and music to his Southern fans with a variety of storytelling collections, including the one this song belongs to: Citternity. “Black and Yellow” by Tim Lowry (7:37)This traditional “porquoi” tale hails from Spain and explains why bumblebees have their black and yellow stripes. Tim doesn't tell the story in verse, but the bee has long been a part of the literary tradition of Spain as a symbol of industriousness, godliness, and even memory (the beehive is often compared to the mind in structure). From Tim's cross-cultural collection, Folk Tales from Around the World, this story has all the trappings of a Tim Lowry telling: poetic language, historic facts, and an unmistakable Southernness. “The Mr. & The Mrs.” by Linda Gorham (4:05)This nursery-rhyme-style tale follows a couple who come into possession of a magic pot that duplicates anything put inside. But what happens when you put in someone instead of something? This cute take on an old welsh legend, from a collection of family tales called Common Sense & Uncommon Fun, is only one side of Linda Gorham's impressive storytelling repertoire. On the other end of the spectrum, Linda's well-researched historical retellings won her the Linda Jenkins Brown Nia Award for Service from the National Association of Black Storytellers.  “Lost in Cyberspace” by Donna Ingham (6:09)Donna uses this freeform poem to explain how her son and his wife introduced her to the world of technology, to which she calls herself an “immigrant in a foreign land.” The poem uses clever wordplay to spin tech company names, internet slang, and other technical jargon into a web of misunderstandings between generations. The story comes from a collection called Our Boy, C. Y. (and his Sweet Young Thing of a Wife), which gathers six of Donna's prize-winning, original lies. So, naturally, nothing about this story is true.
