Belling the Cat, An Aesop Tale: Mini episode Storytelling Ep2
Description
In this STORYTELLING episode of Fabric of Folklore, Vanessa Y Rogers narrates the classic Aesop's fable, 'The Belling of the Cat.' The story revolves around a group of mice trying to outsmart a stealthy cat threatening their lives. A young mouse proposes the ingenious solution of belling the cat, but the older, wiser mouse raises the crucial question: who will bell the cat? We delve into the inherently cautionary nature of Aesop's fables, explaining why their endings often feel incomplete and unsatisfactory from a modern perspective. For those intrigued by the origins and significance of these ancient tales, the episode also points listeners to episode 18 featuring Dr. Laura Gibbs, who offers in-depth insights into the enduring popularity of Aesop's fables.
