Hi everyone, Dana here. Today, as we're all stuffing our faces with holiday meals and spending

time with our loved ones, we're playing you one of our favorite stories from Kearning cultures.

We originally aired this in two parts, but today you'll hear them both back to back. And at the

end, we check in with our main character footage to see how he's getting on a year after this original story aired. If you remember the end, we check in with our main character, Fethage, to see how he's getting on a year after this original story aired.

up for a second. What? Can you tell me like in more detail?
