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 Kokeshi Dolls, Roosters, and Sapsuckers.  On today's episode, enjoy the following: "The Buffalo's Wife" by Odds Bodkin from The Wise Little Girl (14:01) When a terrible famine hits the land, a young girl strikes a bargain with a buffalo in order to save her people.
