A Jack Tale: Jack and his Stepmother
from MountainLore Hosted by Steve Gilly, Gena Gilly
This week we have a Jack Tale that had its origins in England over 500 years ago. Once upon a time, there was a boy who lived with his father and his stepmother in a little house in the woods. Jack and his stepmother did not get along, and she forced him to work every day to bring in money to the household. One day, Jack showed a bit of kindness to an old man and things changed in a most explosive way, as you'll find out when you hear the story. As an added bonus, we also do our best to give you the original story in our poor attempt at speaking in Middle English. Thank you for listening. If you like the stories we've been giving you over the past few weeks, let us know, either at our website, www.mountainlore.net or, if you're listening on Spotify, in the comments on your Spotify app. That will help us decide whether or not to continue with this test or not. Sweet dreams, podcast listeners.
