Summary

How do we know what we know? That is the question I wanted to explore in this story. In it we follow a tortoise named Lionel, who is challenged by another tortoise to consider how well he understands the world around him, and how he's gained the knowledge he claims to have.

Thank you to ROBERT and OLIVIA for contributing the reminder message at the beginning of this episode! Little Stories Premium is available now! Get more of the stories you love and ad-free listening.
