Hey, listeners. It's Amory Sivertson from WBUR Podcasts, and we're in between seasons of Circle Round right now. But that doesn't mean we're taking the summer off. All summer long, we'll be playing you some of the best Circle Round episodes about nature and the environment because hopefully you're spending lots of time outside and enjoying our shared home of planet Earth. That officially starts soon with a special guest host for Circle Round Summer. So get ready for all that. But in the meantime, we're pleased to present a special encore edition of the podcast, a fantastic folktale you may have missed the first time around. Enjoy.
