An extra-long episode this week! Sorry about disappearing for a week there - work's been a little nuts and if I haven't been trying to meet deadlines I've been dead to the world.
This week we have a bunch of classics, at the request of a number of friends that are having a hard time right now: Stone Soup, an old short folktale about a man teaching people about sharing in hard times; Little Red Riding Hood, who really needs to learn about anesthetics; The Smith & the Devil, who you'd think was used to being lambasted by now; and The Little Mermaid, for whom things don't work out but she tries her best anyway.

The Little Mermaid was written by Hans Christian Andersen. 
This retelling of The Smith and The Devil was found at https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Russian_Folk-Tales/The_Smith_and_the_Devil.
Little Red Riding Hood was collected by the Grimm Brothers.
The retelling of Stone Soup read here was found at https://www.dltk-teach.com/fables/stonesoup/mtale.htm
