The Adventures of Little Pea is a story from Persia as retold in Folk Tales of Ancient Persia.

It is a fairy tale with a parent and child separation and restoration with a feast at the end, and the defeat of the bad characters. It is also a trickster tale. Sometimes we think of tricksters as the bad character in a story, and sometimes they are! But other times the trickster is someone with cunning who uses their wits to outsmart the wicked characters. As you listen to this story, and the next story called The Wishes of Savitri, you can think about other stories they remind you of. Are there good tricksters in the Bible?
