A timeless Indian folktale for children and for grown-ups who love listening too.

On the islands of the Andaman Sea, where forests meet the shore and every wave carries an old whisper, lives a story that once saved a people. A Boy Named Ono is an Onge folktale, about a young boy who noticed what others did not, and whose quick thinking helped his entire village survive a great wave. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of the Onge tribe of Little Andaman, this story reminds us that sometimes the smallest voice carries the greatest truth.

This episode is perfect for bedtime, quiet time, or long car rides. If you’re looking for gentle children’s stories from India, meaningful folktales that celebrate courage and wisdom, or traditional stories that connect children to nature and ancestral knowledge, this one’s for you.
