00:01.627 --> 00:02.567
[SPEAKER_01]: Ahoi, my friends.
00:03.048 --> 00:05.228
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome aboard the Afro Tales Barkers.
00:05.709 --> 00:07.469
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm your storyteller, Monna Zinger.
00:07.809 --> 00:15.312
[SPEAKER_01]: Join me as we explore the tales that grew from the people of indigenous and African descent in the Americas and the Caribbean.
00:15.712 --> 00:18.093
[SPEAKER_02]: After, come and see me.
00:18.574 --> 00:20.434
[SPEAKER_02]: Chef, who will impart upon me?
00:21.014 --> 00:23.675
[SPEAKER_02]: It hasn't been for the story you have just made.
00:24.076 --> 00:30.258
[SPEAKER_01]: So with no further ado, let us set set on this new age of exploration.
00:32.167 --> 00:33.268
[SPEAKER_01]: The bird's sweet magic.
00:36.490 --> 00:41.334
[SPEAKER_01]: A king lost his sight and couldn't find no more.
00:41.995 --> 00:50.962
[SPEAKER_01]: Doctors came from everywhere and made promises to the king to the king's three sons and to the queen.
00:52.203 --> 00:54.885
[SPEAKER_01]: But the king's eyes did not improve.
00:56.487 --> 01:04.850
[SPEAKER_01]: In the kingdom, there was an old medicine woman who had made her reputation working cures where doctors had failed.
01:05.891 --> 01:09.993
[SPEAKER_01]: Just in case, the king's family summoned her to the palace.
01:10.733 --> 01:12.654
[SPEAKER_01]: Her instructions were the heirs.
01:14.054 --> 01:19.196
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to care if you can bring home the bird's sweet magic.
01:20.077 --> 01:22.698
[SPEAKER_00]: Rubbish tells on the king lies.
01:23.754 --> 01:27.599
[SPEAKER_00]: The bird is under the power of a king in the disk and country.
01:28.380 --> 01:29.001
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember that?
01:30.924 --> 01:35.389
[SPEAKER_00]: No one who captured the bird is the one who must work killed.
01:37.332 --> 01:40.316
[SPEAKER_01]: The king's three sons decided to give the medicine a try.
01:41.321 --> 01:45.744
[SPEAKER_01]: and the king promised his throne to the one who could bring it back.
01:46.725 --> 01:55.532
[SPEAKER_01]: The three set out the same day, the eldest left in the morning, the second eldest at noon and the youngest toward evening.
01:56.713 --> 01:59.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Each took a good horse and a bag of money.
02:00.636 --> 02:07.961
[SPEAKER_01]: As the eldest son was riding out through the city gates, he saw a crowd in front of the church.
02:09.647 --> 02:15.438
[SPEAKER_01]: and as the saying goes, the crowds noise draws the boys.
02:17.382 --> 02:20.889
[SPEAKER_01]: So he pulled up to see what was causing the commotion.
02:21.835 --> 02:24.257
[SPEAKER_01]: And there was a dead man on the steps of the church.
02:24.777 --> 02:28.741
[SPEAKER_01]: Someone had left the body without money for burial.
02:29.541 --> 02:38.329
[SPEAKER_01]: The priest, even, was refusing to sing prayers for the dead because no one would come forward to pay for them.
02:39.309 --> 02:39.950
[SPEAKER_01]: The prince said,
02:41.261 --> 02:44.302
[SPEAKER_01]: There's nothing in this mean, and went on.
02:45.943 --> 02:51.545
[SPEAKER_01]: At noon, the second son came by and still the unfortunate man had not been buried.
02:52.466 --> 02:55.367
[SPEAKER_01]: The second son shrugged in a roadway.
02:56.647 --> 03:10.933
[SPEAKER_01]: Later in the afternoon, when the youngest pulled up, the corpse had began to give off an older, dogs and buzzers were trying to get a piece of it, and the crowd was suing them away.
03:12.578 --> 03:19.467
[SPEAKER_01]: Taking pity on the poor soul, the prince gave one of the bystanders enough money to go buy a coffin.
03:20.148 --> 03:24.574
[SPEAKER_01]: He himself went to the priest and made a deal for the prayers.
03:25.515 --> 03:30.502
[SPEAKER_01]: He helped open the grave and would not leave until the body had been laid to rest.
03:32.478 --> 03:39.080
[SPEAKER_01]: After he had traveled on for a while, night overtook him in a desolate place.
03:39.100 --> 03:45.041
[SPEAKER_01]: I had in the distance was a little round light, the size of an orange.
03:46.241 --> 03:47.421
[SPEAKER_01]: It kept coming closer.
03:48.242 --> 03:52.242
[SPEAKER_02]: The prince cried out, and God's name, who are you?
03:53.783 --> 03:58.484
[SPEAKER_02]: The voice answered, I am the soul of the one who
04:00.057 --> 04:06.540
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't be afraid, fellow me, and I would read you to the birds with magic.
04:08.101 --> 04:12.423
[SPEAKER_01]: With a light directly in front of him, the prince wrote on to the dark.
04:12.904 --> 04:15.725
[SPEAKER_01]: The next day he rested until it was dark again.
04:16.546 --> 04:19.007
[SPEAKER_01]: Gradually, he lost his fear.
04:20.172 --> 04:23.235
[SPEAKER_01]: He and the light would talk to each other.
04:23.756 --> 04:31.044
[SPEAKER_01]: During the day, he would wait impatiently for night to come so that he could again be with his friend a little light.
04:32.486 --> 04:38.953
[SPEAKER_01]: After many weeks, traveling only at night, he came to the country of a king who was a master of the bear.
04:40.118 --> 04:53.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Following the light he walked past the sleeping gars and into the palace, and there in a room, paneled with gold and crystal was the bird's sweet magic.
04:54.283 --> 05:01.145
[SPEAKER_01]: It hung from the ceiling in a cage covered with rubies, the size of coffee beans.
05:02.457 --> 05:05.979
[SPEAKER_01]: The ceiling was paved with fresh roses.
05:06.920 --> 05:09.441
[SPEAKER_01]: Their fragrance floated in the air.
05:10.241 --> 05:16.405
[SPEAKER_01]: And when the bird sang, it was with the sound of flutes and violence.
05:18.426 --> 05:28.772
[SPEAKER_01]: The prince made a stairway of chairs and tables and was just touching the cage when the whole pile crashed to the floor.
05:29.724 --> 05:36.846
[SPEAKER_01]: The King jumped out of bed, called his guards and ordered the prince to jail with nothing but bread and water.
05:38.866 --> 05:40.726
[SPEAKER_01]: But then the King changed his orders.
05:41.287 --> 05:48.788
[SPEAKER_01]: He thought, this boy will risk anything to get the baby.
05:49.668 --> 05:51.529
[SPEAKER_01]: Touch a boy I can do.
05:52.829 --> 05:56.050
[SPEAKER_01]: He freed the prince and promised to give him the imperative
05:56.454 --> 06:06.238
[SPEAKER_01]: He would bring back a horse that the king favored over all his other horses and that had been stolen by certain giants.
06:08.219 --> 06:10.160
[SPEAKER_01]: So said, so done.
06:10.920 --> 06:26.186
[SPEAKER_01]: When night came to the little round light guided the prince to the pasture where the giant was guarding the horse, it was black and sat with white shanks and a storm on his forehead.
06:29.002 --> 06:34.344
[SPEAKER_01]: On his shoulder was a nod, and the little light said to the prince.
06:35.625 --> 06:41.908
[SPEAKER_02]: When you turn the nod, you will see what you see.
06:44.669 --> 06:49.471
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, then the prince climbed into the tree where the horse was tied.
06:50.152 --> 06:57.015
[SPEAKER_01]: He reached down and began to loosen the rope, the horse who could speak like a human shot it.
06:57.980 --> 07:00.003
[SPEAKER_01]: Master, they're stealing me!
07:01.626 --> 07:08.476
[SPEAKER_01]: The giant who had been napping woke up, but could see no one and went back to sleep.
07:09.938 --> 07:13.263
[SPEAKER_01]: The tree where their prince was hiding was a mango tree.
07:13.846 --> 07:15.067
[SPEAKER_01]: and a very leafy one.
07:16.228 --> 07:23.454
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, their prince reached for the rope, the horse cried out, and the giant looked around and saw only the tree.
07:24.695 --> 07:34.142
[SPEAKER_01]: This time, he spoke sharply to the horse and threatened to break its bones if it kept wakin' him, Thor's new better than to test the giant's patience.
07:35.423 --> 07:40.207
[SPEAKER_01]: When the prince reached down once more and untied the rope, the horse kept still.
07:41.386 --> 07:45.489
[SPEAKER_01]: The prince mounted the horse, turned the knob, and rode into the sky.
07:46.609 --> 07:55.575
[SPEAKER_01]: When they were over the king's palace, the prince twisted the knob, and the opposite direction, and landed smoothly, just at the palace door.
07:56.435 --> 07:58.757
[SPEAKER_01]: The king was beside his up with joy.
07:59.877 --> 08:03.660
[SPEAKER_01]: But he was not yet ready to give up the bird.
08:04.680 --> 08:10.504
[SPEAKER_01]: The prince would now have to rescue the king's daughter, who had been kidnapped.
08:11.055 --> 08:15.117
[SPEAKER_01]: by none other than the same giant who had stolen the horse.
08:16.417 --> 08:23.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Ensure the prince converted with a little round like the light assured him that the task was possible.
08:24.781 --> 08:34.845
[SPEAKER_01]: When night came, the prince mounted the black horse once again and set off for the giant's palace arriving at the supper hour.
08:36.745 --> 08:40.127
[SPEAKER_01]: The giant's dining room was on the second floor
08:41.326 --> 08:48.210
[SPEAKER_01]: A little light whispered to the prince that he would have to climb a vine to the second story window.
08:48.890 --> 08:51.551
[SPEAKER_01]: The vine held fast to the palace wall.
08:52.412 --> 09:02.937
[SPEAKER_01]: As the light had promised, and when the prince looked in through the window, he could see that the giant was just finishing his bottle of wine.
09:04.098 --> 09:07.720
[SPEAKER_01]: The prince waited until the giant's head had dropped to the table.
09:09.068 --> 09:11.252
[SPEAKER_01]: Then he tossed a pebble at the princess.
09:11.913 --> 09:14.338
[SPEAKER_01]: She looked up and saw her chance to escape.
09:15.036 --> 09:18.997
[SPEAKER_01]: Then ran to the window and climbed down the bind with the prince.
09:20.097 --> 09:24.078
[SPEAKER_01]: As she could see, he was well put together and goodly.
09:25.258 --> 09:27.799
[SPEAKER_01]: His thoughts of her were the same.
09:29.339 --> 09:32.340
[SPEAKER_01]: The fact is, they liked each other very much.
09:33.540 --> 09:38.522
[SPEAKER_01]: But when they got back to the king, they found he had changed his mind once again.
09:39.142 --> 09:40.562
[SPEAKER_01]: The bird must not be taken away.
09:41.082 --> 09:44.243
[SPEAKER_01]: The prince could choose anything else he wanted.
09:45.971 --> 09:54.804
[SPEAKER_01]: With the voice of the little light whispering in his ear, the prince asked permission to ride the black horse three times around the palace.
09:55.104 --> 10:02.375
[SPEAKER_01]: With the princess mounted in front of him and the bird in its cage held in his hand.
10:04.018 --> 10:16.061
[SPEAKER_01]: The favor was granted, and to make sure the prince would not escape, the suspicious king set soldiers to guard every exit around the realm of the plaza.
10:17.341 --> 10:23.943
[SPEAKER_01]: The king had no ankle that the prince knew the secret of the little nine.
10:25.083 --> 10:25.823
[SPEAKER_01]: After circling the
10:26.431 --> 10:31.718
[SPEAKER_01]: palace for the third time the prince suddenly turned the knob and rose into the sky.
10:32.579 --> 10:35.503
[SPEAKER_01]: The prince flew home to his own country.
10:37.102 --> 10:43.006
[SPEAKER_01]: When he got to the boundaries of his father's realm, he twisted them out again and came to Earth.
10:44.247 --> 10:48.150
[SPEAKER_01]: The first town he entered turned out to be where his brothers were staying.
10:49.371 --> 10:58.318
[SPEAKER_01]: After weeks of partying, they had spent all their money, and were only waiting until they could think of an explanation to take to their father.
10:59.539 --> 11:00.620
[SPEAKER_01]: The sight of their brother.
11:01.169 --> 11:09.715
[SPEAKER_01]: Bringing home not only the birds with magic, but a beautiful princess, and a wonder horse, filled them with jealousy.
11:10.696 --> 11:19.001
[SPEAKER_01]: But they took hold of their senses and pleasantly invited him to die with them at the end.
11:20.202 --> 11:23.184
[SPEAKER_01]: In his innocence, the young prince accepted their offer.
11:24.525 --> 11:32.412
[SPEAKER_01]: As they all sat at the table, the two older brothers slid the narcotic into the young brothers glass, and the princess's glass too.
11:33.353 --> 11:41.760
[SPEAKER_01]: And when both had lost consciousness, they dragged the younger brother to the top of a high cliff and dropped him over the edge.
11:42.777 --> 11:48.922
[SPEAKER_01]: When the princess woke up, they told her the prince had gone off partying to another town and had abandoned her.
11:49.903 --> 11:54.767
[SPEAKER_01]: In triumph, they came home to the king and queen, who rejoiced to see them.
11:56.649 --> 12:04.796
[SPEAKER_01]: No one seemed to know whether youngest son had gone, and the destroyed princess was presented to their madacies as a mad woman.
12:06.177 --> 12:09.900
[SPEAKER_01]: The two brothers were ready to divide the kingdom between themselves.
12:10.475 --> 12:15.667
[SPEAKER_01]: But when they rub the birds' tails on the king's eyes, it had no effect.
12:16.388 --> 12:19.215
[SPEAKER_01]: The king was as blind as he'd been before.
12:21.042 --> 12:24.824
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, at that moment, help was on the way.
12:26.184 --> 12:33.147
[SPEAKER_01]: Guy's wish was for the prince to live, and he gave to the little round life the power to save him.
12:34.088 --> 12:39.050
[SPEAKER_01]: So, when the prince was dropped off the cliff, a branch caught him by the jacket.
12:39.870 --> 12:46.993
[SPEAKER_01]: Not long after that, some new drivers passed by, heard his cries, and lifted him to save
12:48.413 --> 12:53.419
[SPEAKER_01]: When he told them who he was, they cared him directly to his father's palace.
12:54.403 --> 13:07.330
[SPEAKER_01]: No sooner had he arrived than the princes who had been overcome by grief, regained her compulsion, and the bird's sweet magic filled the air with its music of flutes and violence.
13:08.350 --> 13:11.772
[SPEAKER_01]: The prince explained everything to his parents.
13:12.372 --> 13:23.218
[SPEAKER_01]: The mule drivers verified his story and finally, he touched the bird's tail to the king's face, and the king's eyesight returned.
13:24.545 --> 13:40.197
[SPEAKER_01]: Now everyone knew that the older brothers had lied, but the youngest brother, who was one of God's own children, would not permit his brothers to be punished, instead he embraced them and gave them their share of the kingdom.
13:41.618 --> 13:49.184
[SPEAKER_01]: When he married the princess, she hung the bird's cage in a window, where she could hear its music every day.
13:50.824 --> 14:00.406
[SPEAKER_01]: When the little round light saw that his friend was saved, he came to him to say his last few words.
14:00.426 --> 14:02.466
[SPEAKER_02]: I finished now.
14:03.847 --> 14:06.827
[SPEAKER_01]: I have shown you my gratitude.
14:08.608 --> 14:12.168
[SPEAKER_01]: The prince was unwilling to separate from his true friend.
14:12.828 --> 14:15.629
[SPEAKER_01]: And the boys came to him one more time.
14:17.718 --> 14:21.600
[SPEAKER_02]: fear where until we meet again the next life.
14:24.501 --> 14:32.964
[SPEAKER_01]: And I, I went in one end and came out the other so you, my friends, could tell me another.
14:44.760 --> 14:54.745
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, that was a great story and interesting story coming from the book Latin American folk tales stories of Hispanic and
14:55.316 --> 15:01.440
[SPEAKER_01]: in the introductions by John Beerhurst, I say John, John Beerhurst, I don't know if you, yeah.
15:02.541 --> 15:11.186
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, that story, instantaneously reminded me of Prince of Simpleton and what was going on in the Prince of Simpleton story.
15:11.286 --> 15:16.129
[SPEAKER_01]: If you don't, the link is in these show notes, go down, listen to that story, right?
15:16.149 --> 15:20.612
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a couple of, there'll be a couple other ones too, but that, those, these two stories kind of match up with that.
15:22.633 --> 15:24.434
[SPEAKER_01]: The days they mocked a lesser dress it,
15:25.198 --> 15:30.042
[SPEAKER_01]: God comes in at the end and says, and it was like, hey, nope, you're not killing my boy.
15:31.503 --> 15:34.245
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna send, you know, I'm gonna send a branch out of the grave.
15:34.285 --> 15:36.066
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I grew up in the church.
15:36.486 --> 15:37.987
[SPEAKER_01]: It really sounds like Jonah.
15:38.068 --> 15:42.211
[SPEAKER_01]: It really sounds like a lot of biblical stories that I heard growing up.
15:42.731 --> 15:44.552
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a true fairy tale.
15:45.033 --> 15:50.036
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no names, two kings, a queen, three sons, a princess, and a giant.
15:51.197 --> 16:16.410
[SPEAKER_01]: fair till few magic horse that can fly no wings just can fly and a golden orb that can guide them to became a guardian angel but yeah I love the beginning when he helps bury that man if you lost anybody in life
16:17.430 --> 16:19.651
[SPEAKER_01]: or you know somebody that has lost somebody in life.
16:19.751 --> 16:36.235
[SPEAKER_01]: You know how hard it can be to plan a funeral, pay for that, open a grave, close a grave, pay for the funeral director, pay, you know the whole process can be very expensive.
16:37.275 --> 16:39.836
[SPEAKER_01]: And the fact that that man hadn't nobody.
16:41.236 --> 16:44.497
[SPEAKER_01]: And the prince just said, yo, here, I'm here to help.
16:45.177 --> 16:51.759
[SPEAKER_01]: The fact that all the people couldn't pull the money together, like, thank God, go fund me now, right?
16:51.779 --> 16:53.779
[SPEAKER_01]: That's basically what they could have done to go fund me.
16:54.199 --> 16:56.040
[SPEAKER_01]: But they did do it, which is crazy.
16:56.060 --> 16:57.780
[SPEAKER_01]: But the prince came through and he helped out.
16:57.900 --> 16:58.740
[SPEAKER_01]: I appreciate that.
16:58.840 --> 17:02.701
[SPEAKER_01]: I even appreciate the fact that the guy came back as a spirit to help the prince.
17:02.801 --> 17:04.021
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, yo, you helped me.
17:04.121 --> 17:04.762
[SPEAKER_01]: I helped you.
17:04.782 --> 17:05.822
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
17:06.842 --> 17:08.043
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that fact.
17:09.104 --> 17:10.544
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not like the second king.
17:11.285 --> 17:16.168
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not like the fact that he had the bird in a room doing nothing with it.
17:16.528 --> 17:19.450
[SPEAKER_01]: This bird has magical powers and he just got it caged up in a room.
17:19.850 --> 17:22.512
[SPEAKER_01]: Sounds like a real messed up king to me.
17:23.452 --> 17:29.256
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not like the fact that the prince sent this man on two journeys to this giant.
17:30.225 --> 17:44.088
[SPEAKER_01]: like why didn't you tell the prince like oh go get my horse and get my daughter why you there and you know what I mean we can you know we can see what's up after you get back
17:45.042 --> 17:46.624
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, yeah.
17:47.365 --> 17:48.166
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you're looking more horrors.
17:48.507 --> 17:48.847
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
17:49.088 --> 17:49.608
[SPEAKER_01]: I love more horrors.
17:50.490 --> 17:51.191
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you know what?
17:51.731 --> 17:52.853
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, you know what?
17:53.894 --> 17:54.916
[SPEAKER_01]: Go get my daughter, too.
17:54.976 --> 17:56.157
[SPEAKER_01]: Same giant guy, my daughter.
17:56.198 --> 17:57.279
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, go get her, too.
17:57.359 --> 17:58.381
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, bro, what are you doing?
17:58.981 --> 18:01.845
[SPEAKER_01]: How does this giant have your horrors and your daughter?
18:02.446 --> 18:04.167
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what kind of king are you?
18:04.928 --> 18:10.511
[SPEAKER_01]: Why have you got these things and got your daughter yourself?
18:10.951 --> 18:12.592
[SPEAKER_01]: Or send one of your guys to go get them.
18:12.852 --> 18:13.813
[SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.
18:14.814 --> 18:15.714
[SPEAKER_01]: That is crazy.
18:16.575 --> 18:17.555
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not understand that.
18:19.036 --> 18:19.897
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's a fair deal.
18:21.157 --> 18:42.644
[SPEAKER_01]: and sometimes in some of these central American stories these stories come from I believe the or is partially indigenous and partially religious like you'll see in a lot of the stories that come from these regions like it'll be
18:45.302 --> 19:00.033
[SPEAKER_01]: the theme with a Catholic, you know, a Catholic theme to him because, you know, the church and, you know, trying to use, but basically it's like a parable out of the Bible, you know, this story, if you put in the Bible,
19:00.585 --> 19:01.966
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was like, yeah, this happened.
19:02.326 --> 19:18.132
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, people would probably believe it, you know, except for the flying horse thing, but, you know, they would probably believe that, you know, God sent something down to help a man, you know, retrieve a horse and a, you know, a King's daughter, you know what I'm saying like that.
19:21.614 --> 19:24.515
[SPEAKER_01]: It sounds believable and it really just aspect.
19:25.455 --> 19:27.876
[SPEAKER_01]: So I thought that was interesting.
19:28.677 --> 19:29.557
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like
19:30.392 --> 19:34.975
[SPEAKER_01]: Dale's X-Mockenah type things happening in stories.
19:36.375 --> 19:42.219
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what the ending is is like, they're really the brothers should have won out.
19:42.399 --> 19:44.200
[SPEAKER_01]: They did what they're supposed to do.
19:45.060 --> 19:47.041
[SPEAKER_01]: And God comes in.
19:47.341 --> 19:51.263
[SPEAKER_01]: That is a DS X-Mockenah situation.
19:51.443 --> 19:53.725
[SPEAKER_01]: The whole last part of it is DS X-Mockenah.
19:54.705 --> 19:56.006
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's a fairytale.
19:56.106 --> 19:57.787

[SPEAKER_01]: Easy.
22:03.215 --> 22:08.319
[SPEAKER_01]: Coat the plantains in half and place them in a pot of water.
22:09.239 --> 22:11.200
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't remove skin.
22:12.661 --> 22:16.283

22:48.178 --> 22:54.622
[SPEAKER_01]: When you are done making the boats, heat up the oil and fry until golden brown.
22:55.342 --> 22:57.663
[SPEAKER_01]: About two to three minutes on each side.
22:58.444 --> 23:02.306
[SPEAKER_01]: Set aside on a paper towel and serve them while hot.
23:03.206 --> 23:09.972
