Stories come in all different shapes and sizes, topics, characters, and events. And regardless of the story, they all allow us to experience things we haven’t before or see things through another lens. We gain experience we wouldn’t otherwise by involving ourselves in stories and when we share them with others. Today we have stories that can teach lessons and spark conversations. You'll hear one from Jenni Cargill-Strong about a terrible king who forces his subjects to do unfair work just so he can reach the moon. You'll also hear from Paul Taylor, Charlotte Blake Alston, and Donna Washington.
