I took some liberties here and there to make this story suit my voice and a child's ear. I took time to make the story relevant for today, retain the original message, and bring up the beat a little. This story is based on The Farmer and The Badger originally written by Yei Theodora Ozaki in 1908 in her Japanese Fairy Tale Collection. Project Gutenberg has the original story if you’d like to hear it.

Teacher’s: Here is a Reader’s Theater to follow up and support the moral of the story. Hope you enjoy it.
