🐅 A heartwarming story about hard work, humble beginnings, and honoring where you come from.

Set in vibrant India 🇮🇳, this beautiful retelling of the classic Middle Eastern folktale Abu Kassem’s Slippers follows a poor little tiger cub 🐯 with big dreams and even bigger determination.

👣 With nothing but his paws to protect, Tiger’s mother lovingly weaves him a pair of slippers.

Those worn, patched slippers help him:

🧱 Make bricks

🏠 Build homes

💰 And eventually become very successful.

But when someone questions why a wealthy tiger wears such old shoes…

😳 Tiger tries to throw them away.

🌀 Over and over again, the slippers come back.

Why won’t they leave him alone?

It takes a visit from his uncle—and a wise little cub—to help Tiger understand that those slippers aren’t something to be ashamed of...

They’re a reminder of how far he’s come. 🧡

🏛️ So he builds them a special place of honor—to celebrate his roots, his journey, and the love that started it all.

🎧 A touching tale of gratitude, family, and remembering what matters most.

🎙️ This Episode: Anansi and the Sky God

✨ A trickster tale full of clever plans, magical creatures, and a spider on a mission!

🌍 Long ago, when the earth was new and the sky still freshly lifted...

All the world’s folktales belonged to the mighty Sky God ☁️👑.

But one tiny spider 🕷️ named Anansi had a big idea:

He was going to buy them back—every last one!

The price?

🐍 One live python

🧚 One real fairy

🐝 Forty-seven stinging hornets

😳 Sounds impossible, right?

Well, not if you ask Anansi’s clever wife, Aso 💡💬.

Together, they cook up a brilliant plan to outsmart the Sky God and return the stories to the people of Earth.

🎭 Packed with humor, heart, and a whole lot of trickery, this Ashanti folktale shows that brains—and teamwork—can outwit even the most powerful of gods.

🎧 A lively, laugh-out-loud story that reminds us where all our stories came from—and why we tell them.
