Listen now
Description
Today, I'm reading the Visayan fairy tales, The Spider and the Fly and The Battle of the Crabs. These are all in the public domain via Mabel Cook Cole's book, Philippine Folk Tales. Unlike the other episodes which I rewrote, these are pretty close to the tellings by Cole because I didn't want to steer too far from their simple tellings. I will clarify which ones I do rewrite, as I'll be performing a handful of these. You can find all these tales on Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/12814/pg12814-images.html#d0e4593
