Thank you so much for your support. Welcome, dear listener, to another episode of Drift Off.

My name is Joanne, and I'm so happy you're here to spend some time with me tonight.

In this episode, I'll be sharing a whimsical tale from the Brothers Grimm called

The Traveling Musicians. Now, I want to let you know right at the start, like many old vintage

stories, this one comes from a time when animals were often seen as work companions rather than pets.

In the beginning, the animals' masters decide they're too old to be useful.

But don't worry, our clever animal friends don't come to any harm.

Instead, they run away together, choosing a new life of freedom, friendship, and even music.

And by the end, the story leaves us with a sense of warmth and joy.

Before we begin, I'd love to gently remind you that by subscribing to Drift Off Premium,
