Yaru, Yaatu, Satura, Mun

We meet all kinds of heroes in the storytelling world. Some of these heroes succeed because they can wield a sword, fight dragons, outwit wizards or trick giants. But while these skills are admirable, there are just as many heroes whose true skill is showing kindness. Kindness gets heroes out of all kinds of scrapes, and today we’re sharing stories where it is kindness that saves our characters from destruction. You’ll hear an African folk tale from Charlotte Blake-Alston, the story of a young girl whose kindness saves her on a journey across the world, called “Yaru, Yaatu, Sutura, Mun.” It’s kindness that really saves the day on today’s episode of the Apple Seed!
