Rabbit Ears World Tales, Volume 2

Audiobook

RUMPELSTILTSKIN

In this popular Grimm's fairy tale, a king tells a young woman that she must spin a room full of straw into gold by morning—or die. To complete this impossible task, she is forced to promise her firstborn child to a mysterious little man in return for his gold-spinning ability. Years later, he returns to claim what is his—only to find that he has underestimated the power of a mother's love.

THE TIGER AND THE BRAHMIN

"I give you assurances," cried the Tiger to the Brahmin. "I shan't eat you if you let me out of the cage." But when the Brahmin makes a mistake of taking the Tiger at his word, he discovers that the dishonest beast intended to eat him all along. In the end, it is the wily jackal who comes to the Brahmin's aid and teaches him a lesson he had never found in his holy books. This clever, absorbing adaptation brings this beloved Indian folktale to life.
