The Magic Swan Geese — Eastern Europe & Slavic (Lesser-Known) | Bedtime World Tour
Tonight we travel to Russia, to a village at the edge of a wide field. A girl is left in charge of her little brother for one afternoon and goes off to play, and when she comes back the grass is empty and there is a line of white geese already far off toward the forest. She runs after them, and on the way a stove, an apple tree and a river of milk each offer to help her if she will only take something from them first — and three times she says no, because she is a child from a house where there is enough.
A world folktale every night, told to help you fall asleep. Follow the show so tomorrow…
