If you've been listening to Circle Round for a while, think back to all the stories you've heard

where a character receives a magical gift.

There's Luca with his coin purse and the hat the horn in the purse.

Casper and Clara get their three-legged pot and Hugo gets his guita in the dancing goats.

Now in those stories, our characters used their magical gifts for good.

But in today's tale, that isn't quite the case.

I'm Rebecca Sheer and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time.

Recently we performed three new stories live, with a trio from the Boston Symphony Orchestra,

a Tanglewood Music Center in Lennox, Massachusetts, in front of a very excited audience of children

grown-ups.

Along with our BSO musicians, joining me on stage was a quartet of all-star actors, Lauren

Ambrose, Jane Casmeric, Thomas Sadosky, and Campbell Scott.

Our third and final story in this special series from Tanglewood is called The Magic Bowl.

Versions of this folktale have been told in the West Indies, a region of the North Atlantic

Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
