We always hope that the stories we share with you on The Apple Seed spark memories for you to share with the people that you love. Sometimes those memories are sparked by listening to personal stories, and other times by listening to tall tales and fairy tales. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have the memories wash over you as you listen to stories about pies, beans, and breadfruit.  On today’s episode, enjoy the following: "The Best Wish" by Dan Keding from Wisdom and Wayfaring (7:57) In this story from Chicago-based storyteller, Dan Keding, a pessimistic angel bets an optimistic angel that he cannot find three good, kind humans in three days.   "Coyote Gets His Name - Okanagon" by Susan Strauss from Tracks, Tracks, Tracks: Coyote Stories (7:53) Here's a story from Oregon-based storyteller Susan Strauss.
