Quite often when we read our ancestoral stories we take on a bit of our ancestors joy or pain. I think he is being himself!

Being a traditional storyteller is to read a traditional story in the intention of teaching our children through our emotions and skills and personality. Actions speak more than words, but words last forever in our minds and hearts!

Peace friend and relative!

This story is extremely similar with a famous folkloric Romanian story. But in the Romanian story the fox tricked a bear (the bear,the wolf and the sheep are the heart of the Romanian culture). So the bear went fishing and the bear lost its tail. It's so interesting to find out that all cultures in the world are related to each other!
