“The Wicked Prince“ reminds us that even greed has its limits and that, sometimes, the best weapons are the simplest ones. However, this tale can also be interpreted as a warning against colonialism and capitalism, since our world is so firmly built upon greed. Perhaps we should take care not to end up like the Prince of the story...

A proverb akin to our “stone soup“, “Soup on a Sausage-peg“ is a tale about making do with what we've got, and about the different ways to go about doing the same thing. After all, life is a big soup and it's all open to interpretation. Just make sure yours tastes good to you.
Does your culture have an equivalent tale? I'd love to hear it!

“The Red Shoes“ is a tale that tries to warn you about vanity and reminds you that duty should always come first. However, I dislike it when we tell the poor, or indeed anyone, that they should be proud of their hardship and not “distracted“ by beauty, money, or fun.

“A picture from the fortress wall“ is a very short tale, just a little tiny morsel of a thing, about a prisoner who gets a glimpse of the beauty of the outside world and his heart is slightly changed by that moment. It's hard for me to say what this tale is about, but I have some theories.
What about you? What does this tale mean to you?

“The Pigs“ is a very simple, amusing little tale about appreciating the beauty of what's right in front of us instead of dwelling in the past. It's about the changing of the seasons, not just in terms of weather, but the seasons of life. How things change and how you can choose to focus on the negative or choose to see the beauty around you instead.

“The Puppet Showman“ is about the good old advice “Be careful what you wish for!“ A puppeteer tells the story of how someone helped him realize how miserable he would have been if his wish had come true. It also talks about the miracles we can find in every-day life.
What are some of the things in your daily life that make you feel a sense of wonder?
