This week on Fairytale, Folklore and Fuckery the random country that was chosen this week was South Sudan. I was so excited to learn about the positive side of South Sudan, because the last time I researched them it was in high school, and it was not happy things. But this week, we get to explore how the fairytales reflect the society they live in and funny but sad folktales that kinddaa make no sense. But that's the beauty in these stories is figuring out their meaning or just hearing a new tale that you've never heard before. Tune in next week for another cool country I won't know about until Tuesday!
