My thanks for the tale go to Roger Jenkins, who told it as part of World Storytelling Day, March 2016, when we both part of the Bangalore Storytelling Society’s event.
You can hear Roger telling his wonderfully lively version of the story here, starting at 03.22 min.
Roger has been telling the story for years, and is no longer sure where he found it – but he thinks it was in a book of folk tales from the Middle East.
This recording was made in March 2022, part of a live online Facts&Fiction benefit performance with Pete Castle, dedicated to Jill Lamède.
