Old Sally Cato

These days ain't nothin but one interruption after the other.
Ahoy, my friends! Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast. In this enchanting episode, I bring to life the tale of "Old Sally Cato," a spirited widow who embodies resilience and cleverness in the face of danger. Set in the Missouri hill country, we follow Sally as she sends her two sons, Big Tom and Little Jack, on a daunting mission to fetch cattle for the winter. However, their plans take a turn when they encounter the fearsome giant, Billy Bally Bully. As the brothers scramble to escape the giant's clutches, it's Sally's quick thinking and bravery that ultimately save the day. This delightful story highlights the strength of women and the importance of listening to wisdom passed down through generations.

00:53.555 --> 00:57.139
[SPEAKER_00]: She set out biscuits in gravy and hot coffee.
00:58.047 --> 01:27.683

01:28.878 --> 01:32.141
[SPEAKER_00]: Lil Jack, who had a small boy's mind?
01:33.543 --> 01:34.784
[SPEAKER_01]: Can we wait the next week?
01:35.625 --> 01:36.265
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so?
01:37.066 --> 01:38.427
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a whole lot of work.
01:40.249 --> 01:42.551
[SPEAKER_00]: It'd be the same amount of work.
01:43.492 --> 01:46.515
[SPEAKER_00]: Next week, what next month?
01:46.535 --> 01:48.037
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it, mom.
01:48.057 --> 01:51.941
[SPEAKER_00]: But winter won't hold back, even if you do.
01:52.501 --> 01:55.024
[SPEAKER_00]: Now go.
01:55.044 --> 01:58.547
[SPEAKER_00]: Then she said, and be careful.
01:59.152 --> 02:12.252
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, don't do anything to rouse Billy Bally Bullock at the name of a giant who lived beyond the hill both little jack and big time began to shake.
02:13.474 --> 02:26.374
[SPEAKER_00]: They knew what a horrible monster as big as a mountain of bigger was an old greedy gut
02:28.227 --> 02:35.417
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe we should win a mile before fetching that beef, say a time, gettin' that!
02:36.679 --> 02:38.621
[SPEAKER_00]: Said their mother, and they got.
02:40.224 --> 02:45.932
[SPEAKER_00]: Sally dragged her old spinning wheel on to the porch, shaded by a bit of sweet vibes.
02:46.853 --> 02:53.182
[SPEAKER_00]: Watching her two sons going on, dragged for the tour of the pasture, with a cattle account.
02:54.083 --> 02:57.087
[SPEAKER_00]: She sighed and
02:57.185 --> 03:04.674
[SPEAKER_00]: I swear, if they bring us in bad teams, all the birds that have been flying backwards.
03:04.694 --> 03:05.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Then she said to her spin.
03:08.959 --> 03:14.225
[SPEAKER_00]: With the old spinning wheel.
03:14.245 --> 03:18.030
[SPEAKER_00]: Meanwhile, Jack and Tom switched to the high pass.
03:18.951 --> 03:20.172
[SPEAKER_00]: Along the way,
03:20.641 --> 03:25.908
[SPEAKER_00]: They were startled by a sudden fluttering of crows from a nearby mettle.
03:27.250 --> 03:31.496
[SPEAKER_00]: The bear shot up in the sky like the cloud of black smoke.
03:31.516 --> 03:35.701
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, said, little Jack, them crows mean bad luck.
03:37.023 --> 03:41.149
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, said, big time, you listen to Mark too much.
03:41.970 --> 03:44.353
[SPEAKER_00]: A crow don't mean nothing more than a crow.
03:46.004 --> 03:51.875
[SPEAKER_00]: But then, they got to the pasture with a beef cattle should have been grazing.
03:52.737 --> 03:53.699
[SPEAKER_00]: They found it empty.
03:54.941 --> 04:00.432
[SPEAKER_00]: The little herd had wandered even farther back among the hills.
04:02.455 --> 04:06.443
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I would grumble time in his booming voice.
04:08.009 --> 04:13.877
[SPEAKER_00]: But Jack dropped to his knees and searched him among the grass and fallen leaves.
04:14.818 --> 04:21.487
[SPEAKER_00]: Until he fell on a granddaddy long legs, holding them in the safe from the palm of his hand he had.
04:22.969 --> 04:25.613
[SPEAKER_01]: Granddaddy long legs, where the cows?
04:26.434 --> 04:29.037
[SPEAKER_01]: Granddaddy long legs, where are the cows?
04:30.779 --> 04:31.941
[SPEAKER_00]: As he watched closely,
04:32.596 --> 04:38.329
[SPEAKER_00]: The insect lifted one slender leg and pointed to the west.
04:39.191 --> 04:44.463
[SPEAKER_00]: That way, said Jack confidently letting the spider go back to his leaf pile.
04:45.766 --> 04:49.575
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, swear, you and Ma, two of a kind, said Tom.
04:49.977 --> 05:00.075
[SPEAKER_00]: But he followed his brother hiring to the hills, where the butter nuts and hickory and L, root thicknessed.
05:00.095 --> 05:08.049
[SPEAKER_00]: The higher they climb, the more they kept eyes and ears peeled, the flaming sign of Billy Batty, Booty.
05:08.069 --> 05:15.141
[SPEAKER_00]: They were dangerously close to the giant's territory, and they knew that any one
05:15.121 --> 05:21.169
[SPEAKER_00]: The monster cart trespassing would be gobbled up faster than a duck swallows a jumbo.
05:22.651 --> 05:30.622
[SPEAKER_00]: At last, they found the missing cattle in a tiny metal that needed them had seen before.
05:31.683 --> 05:37.912
[SPEAKER_00]: Straightaway, big times left with the fattest animal and knocked it over the head with his hammer.
05:38.733 --> 05:39.494
[SPEAKER_01]: Why'd you do that?
05:39.534 --> 05:41.196
[SPEAKER_00]: That's Jack.
05:41.497 --> 05:53.533
[SPEAKER_00]: so we can do our work here without my watching and saying as how we're doing it all wrong and making us take twice the time to get it done and it's a time.
05:54.314 --> 06:01.143
[SPEAKER_00]: Now hit me hang this clock from the tree so we can skin it and dress it.
06:01.163 --> 06:07.892
[SPEAKER_00]: But my said Jack begun you pipe down and start skinning his butt said.
06:09.155 --> 06:14.187
[SPEAKER_00]: They worked for a little while, didn't Jack stop, suddenly he's in.
06:15.610 --> 06:16.292
[SPEAKER_01]: I hear something.
06:17.234 --> 06:19.680
[SPEAKER_00]: No, you don't say it well.
06:19.700 --> 06:22.146
[SPEAKER_00]: Keep working.
06:22.166 --> 06:24.732
[SPEAKER_00]: Jack worked a bit longer, then he's in.
06:25.755 --> 06:26.476
[SPEAKER_01]: I hear something.
06:26.917 --> 06:27.619
[SPEAKER_01]: It's only mirror.
06:27.903 --> 06:32.332
[SPEAKER_00]: No, you don't, Tom didn't look up from his work.
06:32.352 --> 06:33.214
[SPEAKER_00]: Keep working.
06:34.877 --> 06:41.050
[SPEAKER_00]: Setting me, they both stopped because this time, both of them had heard of me.
06:41.992 --> 06:46.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Boom, boom, boom, like thunder over the hill.
06:47.073 --> 06:58.012
[SPEAKER_00]: A minute later, they saw Billy Bally, Bully, dropping over the hill with no more effort than a widow climbing a steal to cross the fence.
06:59.495 --> 07:03.782
[SPEAKER_00]: To the frightened brothers, they'll giant look bigger than the mountain itself.
07:04.218 --> 07:07.302
[SPEAKER_00]: His black hair stood up like the global trees.
07:07.962 --> 07:12.087
[SPEAKER_00]: His eyes were big and round as wagon waves.
07:12.648 --> 07:16.513
[SPEAKER_00]: And his mouth filled with yellow tea besides the tombstones.
07:17.153 --> 07:21.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Look wide enough to swallow half the country.
07:21.178 --> 07:27.546
[SPEAKER_00]: The giant sniffed the air with nostrils as big and black and deep as the pits of hair.
07:29.308 --> 07:33.533
[SPEAKER_00]: The frightened boy's hug each other and shook.
07:34.610 --> 07:37.493
[SPEAKER_00]: our smell fresh milk.
07:37.513 --> 07:39.556
[SPEAKER_00]: What you doing?
07:39.576 --> 07:40.217
[SPEAKER_00]: Max the giant.
07:41.238 --> 07:41.658
[SPEAKER_00]: Skittin' him.
07:42.439 --> 07:43.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Skittin' me.
07:43.981 --> 07:46.845
[SPEAKER_00]: Said Tom, his boy suddenly as small as Jack's.
07:47.545 --> 07:48.286
[SPEAKER_00]: Gimmy's home.
07:49.067 --> 07:50.469
[SPEAKER_00]: Quick, as a winged.
07:50.489 --> 07:53.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Tom cut a big chunk of meat and tossed it to the giant.
07:54.694 --> 07:56.096
[SPEAKER_00]: He goked it down whole.
07:57.537 --> 07:59.259
[SPEAKER_00]: The giant lick his lips.
08:00.180 --> 08:00.861
[SPEAKER_00]: Gimmy's a war.
08:01.502 --> 08:02.423
[SPEAKER_00]: He demanded.
08:03.196 --> 08:13.192
[SPEAKER_00]: Tom sliced off an even bigger slab and threw it into the monster's outstretched palm, the giant swallowed it down, more he rode.
08:14.233 --> 08:27.634
[SPEAKER_00]: Soon Jack and Tom were cutting up the beef carcasses fast as they could, and flinging it at Billy Bally, but, but, every helping only made the giant hunk.
08:28.154 --> 08:35.163
[SPEAKER_00]: More, more, more, more, more, the pain no more.
08:36.104 --> 08:39.628
[SPEAKER_00]: Say a Jack, whose voice had shrunk to a whisper.
08:40.269 --> 08:41.431
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I'll reach you!
08:42.552 --> 08:46.817
[SPEAKER_00]: Rumble to Johnny, stretching out a hand as big as a boy.
08:48.239 --> 08:50.702
[SPEAKER_00]: But before he could grab the brothers,
08:51.121 --> 08:54.385
[SPEAKER_00]: They took our front end like 60 for home.
08:54.405 --> 09:03.776
[SPEAKER_00]: Behind them, they heard the boom, boom, boom, other giant and following them.
09:03.796 --> 09:13.787
[SPEAKER_00]: On every side, the trees danced up and down with each deafening boom, fear put wings on the brothers feet.
09:14.948 --> 09:22.700
[SPEAKER_00]: In next to no time, they had reached the little cabin with their mother sat working in her spinning wheel.
09:27.026 --> 09:28.829
[SPEAKER_00]: Ma, ma, they screeched.
09:29.329 --> 09:30.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Bitty-pitty buddies, after us!
09:31.593 --> 09:33.536
[SPEAKER_00]: What is it doing around a month?
09:34.878 --> 09:37.301
[SPEAKER_00]: Acts, old Sally suspiciously.
09:38.063 --> 09:44.432
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, she could hear the boo, boo.
09:45.560 --> 09:46.061
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing.
09:46.742 --> 09:47.363
[SPEAKER_00]: Jack said.
09:47.803 --> 09:49.005
[SPEAKER_01]: We were just kidding the beat.
09:50.006 --> 09:53.712
[SPEAKER_00]: You was just skimming back in the hills.
09:54.272 --> 09:55.114
[SPEAKER_00]: She's playing.
09:56.135 --> 10:05.428
[SPEAKER_00]: And I told you time and again that there's nothing like the smell of fresh meat to bring Billy, ballet, bunny, stepping around.
10:05.969 --> 10:06.530
[SPEAKER_00]: Boom.
10:07.311 --> 10:08.693
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to eat us, man.
10:09.234 --> 10:09.895
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Tom.
10:10.375 --> 10:10.856
[UNKNOWN]: Boom.
10:11.117 --> 10:11.657
[SPEAKER_00]: Boom.
10:12.559 --> 10:14.942
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have a half of mine to let him.
10:15.361 --> 10:19.426
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, you too are as sorry as a pair.
10:19.527 --> 10:20.488
[SPEAKER_00]: Who went out shoes?
10:21.769 --> 10:28.839
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the shingles of the cabin move and the ground shook from the boom, boom, boom.
10:29.740 --> 10:40.494
[SPEAKER_00]: Of the giant's tray, the woman's hound of blue house from under the porch, the second later, the animals off and running.
10:41.756 --> 10:42.617
[SPEAKER_01]: How does more?
10:43.407 --> 10:44.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Tom and Jack Yell.
10:45.911 --> 10:50.158
[SPEAKER_00]: They were so frightened that teeth were rattling as loud as Hall's Eden Charcoal.
10:50.759 --> 10:56.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Sally pointed to the big old kettle in the yard that she used for making soap.
10:56.568 --> 11:02.918
[SPEAKER_00]: Up in that pot and high to sales and I see the old greedy guts myself.
11:04.602 --> 11:14.680
[SPEAKER_00]: Just before Billy Bally, Lumberton interview, O-Sally Catalan had returned to her spending.
11:16.533 --> 11:23.981
[SPEAKER_00]: And her abling, she had tucked a feather duster, a pair of knitting needles, and a carving knife.
11:25.102 --> 11:30.488
[SPEAKER_00]: Looking up at the gangling, hairy face creature laying down at her.
11:31.369 --> 11:36.174
[SPEAKER_00]: Sally had to keep a tight hold on her curves as well as a feet.
11:36.835 --> 11:44.683
[SPEAKER_00]: She wanted to hide, tell it, across the head, grows and cornfields as fast as her handle
11:44.663 --> 11:52.121
[SPEAKER_00]: Why don't fellas go the giant act he sniffed the air There's a rouse.
11:52.542 --> 12:00.681
[SPEAKER_00]: I smell them No woman pretended to pay him no mind hurt spinning wheel
12:03.479 --> 12:11.471
[SPEAKER_00]: In a voice so loud that it rattled the roof over her head, Billy Belly's belly, demanding.
12:11.491 --> 12:12.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are they hiding?
12:13.995 --> 12:21.546
[SPEAKER_00]: Still, the old woman gave all her attention to the spinning.
12:21.566 --> 12:22.888
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got all woman!
12:23.910 --> 12:30.600
[SPEAKER_00]: The giant got down on his hands and knees, pushes bristly face close to the woman.
12:31.643 --> 12:35.407
[SPEAKER_00]: He opened it as mouth wide to shout and eat.
12:35.427 --> 12:44.958
[SPEAKER_00]: That instant, Outsally ran into his mouth all the way to the back, then she shook her feather dust above, releasing in great clouds of dust.
12:45.498 --> 12:49.683
[SPEAKER_00]: That made the giant, squeezing, sneezing.
12:49.703 --> 12:59.153
[SPEAKER_00]: The old woman hung on to his tonsils for the worst of this, then she slid down his gullet into a stomach.
12:59.133 --> 13:08.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Missy ran around, jabbing at his insides with her knitting needles, giving Billy, batty, bully, the grand daddy of all good eggs.
13:09.367 --> 13:22.626
[SPEAKER_00]: The pain was so fearful that the monster bellow and stand and ran around in circles, knocking down one corner of the porch and smashing the wheelbarrow flat.
13:23.112 --> 13:38.153
[SPEAKER_00]: Tom and Jack peeped out from under the soap kettle, and saw Billy Bally bleep, frantically waving his arms like a windmill going to the back, and sounding like a dying calf in a hailstorm.
13:38.173 --> 13:41.438
[SPEAKER_00]: The whole countryside shook as it hit by an earthquake.
13:42.640 --> 13:52.073
[SPEAKER_00]: Inside the giant the older woman found his heart.
13:52.897 --> 14:00.350
[SPEAKER_00]: Even though Dave, Billy Battleman, was too dumb to follow.
14:00.370 --> 14:08.704
[SPEAKER_00]: For a long time, he just stood the grassy eye, by the brothers under the soap kettle, tried to guess what had happened.
14:09.606 --> 14:14.314
[SPEAKER_00]: Suddenly, the giant pitched over backwards like a failed tree.
14:14.800 --> 14:25.890
[SPEAKER_00]: the force of him hitting the ground raise the cabin and barn and outhouse 10 feet in the air before they drop back into place.
14:25.910 --> 14:31.615
[SPEAKER_00]: Matter of fact, the old woman cut herself free from the giant.
14:33.037 --> 14:44.487
[SPEAKER_00]: Then she called her sons and showed them the beef line and harm inside the giant.
14:45.985 --> 15:05.968
[SPEAKER_00]: Now then, set the one key that beef out to the smoke house, it'll be best soon, and next time when I tell you to do something, or not to do something, you're listening good, yes ma'am, yes ma'am, big time a little Jack Hanson, good, set out south.
15:06.472 --> 15:18.432
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, you get to get business, and let me get to my ass, let these days ain't nothing but what interruption after them.
15:19.474 --> 15:31.214
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, in no time though, she was happily humming herself while her spinning wheel went.
15:31.234 --> 15:31.635
[SPEAKER_00]: The end.
15:38.045 --> 15:54.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, so this was another great story coming from the book cut from the same cloth American women of myth legend and tall tale by Robert B. San Suci and Brian Picney.
15:55.797 --> 16:24.775
[SPEAKER_00]: They mentioned in the forward to the story that I'd like to do forwards in these, for each story that this particular story coming out of Missouri had many elements of African stories, which involve flesh-eating elephants
16:24.755 --> 16:39.000
[SPEAKER_00]: in the Indiana tail crawling into the Elephants belly, which I think I did on here before if I did a marketing show notes.
16:41.123 --> 16:53.599
[SPEAKER_00]: I like stories like this, especially stories where a seemingly weak woman is the strong one in the story.
16:53.759 --> 17:06.034
[SPEAKER_00]: She's the one she's the savior of, you know, everything and it reminds me of how you hear stories of women being able to pick
17:06.014 --> 17:17.498
[SPEAKER_00]: pick cars off of children or just women just come into the defense of their families and friends and you know their loved ones as they always do.
17:18.420 --> 17:25.474
[SPEAKER_00]: I know this particular time of year, written around black history month, that
17:26.973 --> 17:44.931
[SPEAKER_00]: We see the images of black women fighting against police pretty sure every of many people have seen the black women holding the machete to the police officers neck while standing over her or it is son or loved one
17:44.911 --> 17:46.013
[SPEAKER_00]: wherever they may be.
17:46.574 --> 18:00.339
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just a common theme and I think a lot of women, especially women of what a quote unquote the minorities, ethnicities.
18:01.381 --> 18:08.995
[SPEAKER_00]: They tend to black Hispanic, you know, just a lot of women in general tend to be able to
18:09.953 --> 18:25.804
[SPEAKER_00]: grab that strength, that misogynistic men seem to believe they don't have and then come to the rescue of many of those that they love and I appreciate that.
18:26.646 --> 18:28.249
[SPEAKER_00]: But the story also
18:28.229 --> 18:54.557
[SPEAKER_00]: How like it's how kids will get on your nerves They just won't listen sometimes and because they don't listen Trouble follows them and being a parent you have to take help them take care of that Trouble whether you're teaching them how to do it themselves or if you have to take care of yourself and then show them the air their ways later on
18:54.537 --> 18:57.983
[SPEAKER_00]: That is just something that being a parent is all about.
18:58.964 --> 19:14.870
[SPEAKER_00]: I always laugh and say, you know, I've heard of other places and I'm pretty sure you have that Tyler is always trying to kill themselves and the first couple years of a child's life you're just trying to keep him alive, you know.
19:15.532 --> 19:19.498
[SPEAKER_00]: So, that's one of those type of things that that
19:19.478 --> 19:22.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Children do, you know, and it doesn't really matter the age.
19:23.042 --> 19:32.274
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, even as a teenager, I was getting myself situations that my mom was like, look Look, I'm leaving you not to be doing that.
19:32.735 --> 19:36.660
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, but yeah, so that it's just a wonderful short story.
19:36.720 --> 19:40.584
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it It really reminds me of home.
19:40.645 --> 19:45.030
[SPEAKER_00]: My mom and my grandma and my grandma and stuff like that
19:45.010 --> 19:49.636
[SPEAKER_00]: Because, you know, they're kind of one, they're kind of those matter of fact type women.
19:49.816 --> 19:52.840
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I appreciate that in this story.
19:52.860 --> 19:53.821
