The Cicada And His Shell

from Walking With The Tengu Hosted by Matthew

Today I am going to give you my retelling of a very short story from Issai Chozanshi’s Inaka Soshi. These are parable-like stories not unlike Aesop’s Fables but much more subtle. I’ve taken a little creative license in these retellings, so be aware that they’re not direct translations but hopefully I can retain their intrinsic lessons while also making them fun to listen to. Cicada track from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tanna_japonensis_v01.ogg
