How the Chipmunk Got Its Stripes — North America Indigenous (Lesser-Known) | Bedtime World Tour

Tonight we travel to the woodlands of what is now New York State, for one of the shortest stories in this whole series. A grandmother and her granddaughter go out to camp and cut wood for the winter, and they take their one old skin blanket to sleep under. A few days in, they find out the blanket is alive, and that it is angry. What the grandmother does when it catches them up in the dark is the reason this story is still told.

A world folktale every night, told to help you fall asleep. Follow the show so tomorrow night's story finds you too.
