A hungry traveler tricks a stingy woman into making porridge by claiming he can cook it using just an axe. Gradually, he convinces her to add salt, ghee, flour, and milk—until a full porridge is made. In the end, he enjoys the meal, and the woman realizes too late that she was cleverly outwitted.

A poor priest receives the gift of a few coins and shells from a king. What happens to them when his wife angrily throws them in the backyard?

About the Author:

Dr. Sohinder Singh Wanjara Bedi (1924–2001) whose folk tale collection - Bata'n Mudh Kadeem Dian has this folk tale, was one of the most respected voices in Punjabi literature, especially known for his unmatched work in preserving and popularizing Punjabi folk tales. Born in the village Dhamial in Sialkot district (now in Pakistan), he migrated to India during Partition and dedicated his life to literature and education.

Dr. Bedi began collecting folk stories at a young age, and over the decades, he published more than 80 books, including children’s tales, short stories, literary criticism, and folklore studies. His most iconic contribution is the eight-volume “Punjabi Lokdhara Vishav Kosh”, a global encyclopedia of Punjabi folklore that took him over 45 years to compile — a rare and monumental feat.

He served as a professor at Dayal Singh College, Delhi, and was deeply committed to using literature to preserve Punjabi cultural heritage. In 1988, he received the Sahitya Akademi Award for his short story collection "Galīeṅ Chikkar Dūrī Ghar".

Dr. Bedi believed in the power of simple storytelling to teach deep values. He passed away in 2001, but his work continues to inspire generations of readers, writers, and educators.

When a prince happens to marry a little she-frog, she turns out to be a clever princess who was under a spell. How far will the prince go to free her from the clutches of Koshchei, listen to the journey he undertakes in this story.

🌲🧙‍♀️🏚 About Russian Fairy Tales:

Russian fairy tales (or skazki) are part of a powerful oral tradition passed down through generations — not just to entertain, but to teach, warn, and inspire. These stories often carry dark, eerie undertones alongside moments of magic and wonder. That’s because they reflect the real hardships of peasant life, and the cleverness required to survive it.

You’ll meet:

• Talking animals 🐸

• Shape-shifting witches 🧙‍♀️ (like Baba Yaga, who both terrifies and helps)

• Quiet, resourceful heroines like Vasilisa — who don’t need to fight with swords, but with wisdom and kindness

Unlike the sugarcoated fairy tales popularized in the West, Russian folk tales embrace shadows and ambiguity. The forest isn’t just a backdrop — it’s alive, testing who you are. Helpers are earned through humility. Villains aren’t always punished — but the wise always make it through.

So when you listen to stories like Clever Vasilisa, you’re stepping into a world where survival isn’t about brute strength — it’s about intelligence, endurance, and inner light.
