From time to time, we'll post what we call a BITE ("like a regular episode, only shorter!"). We always hope that the stories you listen to on The Apple Seed will spark memories and thoughts that you can share with the ones you love -- perhaps even the people with whom you listen to the show. In a BITE, we'll listen to a single story -- one that we love -- and invite friends to share memories and thoughts that occur to them as they listen to it. When was a time you felt protective over those you love? On today's BITE, Antonio Sacre tells the story, "The Barking Mouse" about what happens when a lovely mouse family is attacked by a cat. Sam is joined in the studio by Paul Ricks.
