The Clever Girl and the Ghoul — North Africa & Maghreb (Lesser-Known) | Bedtime World Tour
Tonight we travel to Morocco, where a girl follows a distant glow to borrow one coal from a ghoul. When he tracks her home and breaks through six of her seven doors, she sends a tiny messenger into the moonlit sky and prepares a slippery welcome.
Source & tradition: Moroccan oral tale “The Girl and the Ghoul,” in which an extinguished hearth sends a girl to borrow fire, the ghoul follows her home, and her brothers answer her message. Original prose retelling.
A world folktale every night, told to help you fall asleep. Follow the show so tomorrow night's story can find you too.
