fascinating characters, a twisty turny plot?

Perhaps it tickles your funny bone or tugs at your heart.

We're about to return to a time when the world didn't have stories,

until a sly little spider gave us all a tale to tell. I'm Rebecca Sheer and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time.

Today our story is called The Crystal Story Box.

Versions of this folk tale originally come from the Ashanti people of Ghana in West Africa

and feature a trickster you've met in several other circle round stories, a Nancy.

Some really great people came together to bring you our adaptation of this tale,

including comedian, writer, and actor Bashir Salahoudin,

co-creator and co-star of Southside on Max.
