Hi, Rebecca Sheer here. As you listen right now, the circle round team is busy creating

even more exciting episodes for you, featuring folktales from around the world, and starring

fabulous actors from the stage and screen. So today we're bringing you a special

encore edition from Season 1. A really fun story you may have missed the first time around.

We'll be back with a brand new episode next week!

One is the last time you shared with someone. Maybe you took turns playing with a toy,

or you offered a path of your favorite sandwich. It can feel good to share and be shared

with. But it isn't always easy. In today's story, we'll meet a bear who's not so big

on sharing until he makes a deal with a very clever rabbit. I'm Rebecca Sheer and welcome

to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time. Today's story is called Share

and Share a Like. You'll hear variations of this tale in many countries, including Denmark,

Scotland, Austria and Russia. It's also been told in the Southern United States. That's

where our version comes from. Some really great people came together to bring you this

folktale, including someone you grown-ups might recognize as the host of the public radio

show and podcast Snap Judgment, Glyn Washington.
