A timeless folktale for children — and for grown-ups who love listening too.

From the forests of India comes a story that has travelled through generations, changing a little each time it was told. It is a tale of an old goat who looks harmless, a lion who believes he knows everything, and a fox who believes he knows even more.

When Bakri Amma, an ageing goat with stiff legs and worn horns, wanders into a lion’s cave, what should have been the end becomes the beginning of something far cleverer. With calm courage and quick thinking, she turns fear on its head and teaches us that wisdom does not always roar. Sometimes, it speaks softly and waits.

A gentle, witty story about patience, presence of mind, and the quiet power of intelligence over strength. Perfect for bedtime, quiet afternoons, or shared listening with family. If you’re looking for Indian folktales for children, stories that reward attentiveness, or tales where cleverness wins the day, this one’s for you.

A timeless story for children and for grown-ups who love listening too.

From the Konkan region of Maharashtra comes a folktale that has been told for generations, often shared through the traditional art of Chitrakathi, where painted panels and spoken stories came together to reflect human nature.

The Bearded Fool is a strange and thought-provoking tale about a man deeply proud of his long beard and the quiet certainty it gives him. But when a single line in a book unsettles that belief, his thoughts begin to spiral in unexpected ways. What follows is a story that is humorous, unsettling, and quietly sharp in the way only folktales can be.

This is a story about pride, perception, and how easily we can be led astray when we place our faith in appearances rather than understanding. It invites listeners to pause, observe, and perhaps smile at how the mind can sometimes become its own trickster.

This episode is perfect for bedtime, quiet listening, or thoughtful family storytime. If you enjoy Indian folktales, stories that gently question human behaviour, or traditional tales that linger in the mind long after they end, this one is for you.
