Our final story from Carl Sandburg's "Rootabaga Pigeons" this week is a special dtale where instead of telling a story, we get to see the Potato Face Blind Man listen to a story from two tough pony girls.

'How Pink Peony Sent Spuds, the Ballplayer, Up to Pick Four Moons' is a beautiful love story from Carl Sandburg, a refreshing change from Monday's tale.

'How Deep Red Roses Goes Back and Forth Between the Clock and the Looking Glass' is a different kind of story from Carl Sandburg, it's a sad story of trauma and a girl who wants to feel loved.

'Smells and Jingles' is the perfect story to finish our week in Japan, a bit of light-hearted fun to cleanse the palate from the sadness of 'The Sazayé and the Tai' and the violence of 'Raiko and the Shi-Ten Doji'.

'The Sazayé and the Tai' is a sad tale of hubris from a terribly proud shellfish.

We begin our stories from Japan this week by wrapping up the story of Raiko that we'd begun previously with the bloody battle of 'Raiko and the Shi-Ten Doji'.

A variation on the good daughter/bad daughter tale, 'Teresina, Luisa, and the Bear' is quite a story.

The Tuscan version of 'Bluebeard' may just be my favorite version of this classic fairytale. I do hope you agree.

'The Miser' is the story that convinced me to tell these Russian tales this week. It's the story of how the rich stay rich.
