ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
In this episode, the storyteller Kathy Shimpock will be exploring three legends of sacrifice and heroism. One is the "Burning of the Rice Fields," a legend from Japan. The second is "St. David's Hood" from England and the third is "Tante Tina" from Germany. In each, we'll see how the "little old woman's" or the "little old man's" actions saved the day.
