Summary

What do you do if an obvious witch stops you on the road and asks a favor? Keep walking, right? Well, for the first time in possibly the entirety of this podcast, here's an example of someone speaking to an evil-looking witch in the dark forest and it actually working out. It's the story of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Tinderbox". Our second story is from Vietnam, and a poor family, a smart child, an evil moneylender, and a fly conspire to cause some legal difficulties. --- Bombas are the most comfortable socks I've ever worn, hands...er...feet down.

0:00.0	Just a brief disclaimer, there's some adult stuff in violence this week. Check out mythpodcast.com
0:05.3	for more info. This week, on Myths and Legends, you'll see why the rules of Myths and Legends
0:09.8	were made to be broken, and why you should allow that horrifying witch to tie you up,
0:14.9	and lower you down into a hollow tree. And you'll also see which item in your kitchen
0:19.0	will help you train that pesky dog, the one with eyes the size of skyscrapers. Then,

0:28.5	hold onto the receipt.

0:44.9	This is a podcast where I tell stories from mythology and folklore. Some are incredibly popular

1:36.9	Folkhor. It's actually from someone I've had kind of a love-hate relationship with on this show,
1:41.2	Hans Christian Anderson. It might just be my favorite story that he's written, because he didn't
1:46.7	actually write it. He actually just collected it, put it on a paper, published it, and everyone
