Old Sally Cato

Ahoy, my friends! Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast. In this enchanting episode, I bring to life the tale of "Old Sally Cato," a spirited widow who embodies resilience and cleverness in the face of danger. Set in the Missouri hill country, we follow Sally as she sends her two sons, Big Tom and Little Jack, on a daunting mission to fetch cattle for the winter. However, their plans take a turn when they encounter the fearsome giant, Billy Bally Bully. As the brothers scramble to escape the giant's clutches, it's Sally's quick thinking and bravery that ultimately save the day. This delightful story highlights the strength of women and the importance of listening to wisdom passed down through generations.
