The louse and the flea
from Ririro.com - Kids Stories (6-10 Years) · host Ririro
"The Louse and the Flea" is a short fable by Brothers Grimm where a tiny accident — a louse burning herself while brewing beer in an eggshell — sets off an unstoppable chain of reactions. The grieving flea's cries send a door creaking, a broom sweeping, a cart running, an ash-heap blazing, a tree shaking, and a girl smashing her water-pitcher, until finally a spring bursts its banks and swallows everything whole. The story builds with rhythmic, cumulative verses that grow funnier and more chaotic with each new link in the chain.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-kids-stories-6-10-years--6564597/support.
