"The Ogre" is a short story by Andrew Lang following Antonio, a simple-minded but good-natured boy who flees his mother's anger and stumbles upon a surprisingly kind ogre willing to take him into service. Over several years, the ogre gifts Antonio magical objects — a donkey that pours out precious gems, a table-cloth that reveals hidden riches, and a stick with a very different purpose. Each time Antonio returns home, a cunning innkeeper swindles him of his treasures, until Antonio finally finds a way to turn the tables on the thief.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-kids-stories-6-10-years--6564597/support.
