EP 163: China- The General, the Bird, and the Ant; Three Girls who went to a Boys' School

Sandman Stories Presents · Jan 19, 2023 · 18m

In the first story, a General is lost in the desert with his army. A bird and an ant have an argument next to the dying general about which is more important to the man. I’m sure he was glad to hear them arguing while he was dying of thirst.

And in the second story, three girls are admitted to a school, but have to dress up as boys. Their beauty makes the other boys want to copy their names, but their courage and sense of morals set them apart from the rest.
