WEBVTT

00:00.151 --> 00:02.773
[SPEAKER_01]: Ahoi, and welcome aboard the Afro-Tails packages.

00:03.494 --> 00:14.243
[SPEAKER_01]: I am in Grille, a mind-mazinga, here to guide you through captivating tales, rooted in the histories of indigenous and African-distant peoples across the Americas and the Caribbean.

00:14.923 --> 00:23.370
[SPEAKER_01]: But, the journey that is not in there, I, Chef, will share a delicious recipe and inspired by the stories you have just had.

00:24.313 --> 00:29.979
[SPEAKER_01]: So, with no further ado, let us set sail on this new age of exploration.

00:30.639 --> 00:32.161
[SPEAKER_01]: Scunning when he and a stone giant.

00:36.934 --> 00:41.779
[SPEAKER_01]: One day, Manga Go went in an air-quiet village, the people became very troubled.

00:42.660 --> 00:51.249
[SPEAKER_01]: In those days, there were great monsters called Stone Giants, taller than the trees, those creatures loved to eat human beings.

00:52.310 --> 00:58.096
[SPEAKER_01]: Spears and arrows could not hurt them, for they had skin, made a flint.

01:00.158 --> 01:00.859
[SPEAKER_01]: that day.

01:01.640 --> 01:09.468
[SPEAKER_01]: A stone giant had been seen on the other side of Niagara, the big river that flowed near the village.

01:10.589 --> 01:17.076
[SPEAKER_01]: The people were afraid that one day it would cross the river and attack them.

01:17.897 --> 01:20.520
[SPEAKER_01]: Soon almost everyone in the village was talking about it.

01:21.441 --> 01:22.042
[SPEAKER_01]: What could they do?

01:23.593 --> 01:30.163
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the people in the village happened to be Scunning Wendy, whose name means cross the creek.

01:31.024 --> 01:38.615
[SPEAKER_01]: He had been given that name because he loved to play near the stream that flowed not far from the village.

01:39.555 --> 01:46.761
[SPEAKER_01]: Scunny Wendy knew better than anyone, all of the places where he could cross.

01:47.702 --> 01:54.848
[SPEAKER_01]: Scunny Wendy was not a very big person, but he was very quick to see things.

01:56.149 --> 02:01.133
[SPEAKER_01]: Sitting on a rock, his stone hatched on the ground, beside him.

02:01.913 --> 02:08.018
[SPEAKER_01]: Scunny Wendy sat and listened quietly as he prepared a torn boxing.

02:09.880 --> 02:13.603
[SPEAKER_01]: That was unusual for scanning Wendy, love to talk.

02:14.944 --> 02:20.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Of all the people in the village, no one loved to joke and talk more than he did.

02:22.390 --> 02:26.093
[SPEAKER_01]: Dostone Giants are very dangerous, said one man.

02:27.654 --> 02:33.079
[SPEAKER_01]: I've heard they've been known to destroy whole villages, said another.

02:41.283 --> 02:42.383
[SPEAKER_01]: one young woman acts.

02:44.204 --> 02:45.844
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone is afraid of them.

02:47.804 --> 02:49.565
[SPEAKER_01]: Skunning when they could stand in no longer.

02:51.185 --> 02:52.806
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not afraid of that stone giant.

02:53.406 --> 02:54.406
[SPEAKER_01]: Skunning when they explained.

02:55.746 --> 03:01.447
[SPEAKER_01]: He was always as quick at bragging as he was at making jokes.

03:02.508 --> 03:04.708
[SPEAKER_01]: I've killed dozens of giants.

03:06.108 --> 03:08.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Soon people were gathered around him.

03:09.594 --> 03:11.155
[SPEAKER_01]: You've killed Stone Giants?

03:11.896 --> 03:14.719
[SPEAKER_01]: The woman adds, Of course I have.

03:15.299 --> 03:18.462
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm skinny one, the greatest of warriors.

03:19.523 --> 03:24.387
[SPEAKER_01]: He answered, speaking louder as the crowd around him got bigger.

03:25.809 --> 03:29.332
[SPEAKER_01]: I could easily take care of that Stone Giants down by the river.

03:30.052 --> 03:33.095
[SPEAKER_00]: Stone Giants run at the very sound of my name.

03:34.879 --> 03:48.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Scunning when it began to brag about his mini battles with Stone Giants, even though none of those battles had ever taken place, he described them in great detail.

03:49.392 --> 03:53.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Before long, everyone in the village had heard his tales.

03:54.256 --> 03:58.359
[SPEAKER_01]: As he talked, skinny one continued to work on his marksen.

03:59.440 --> 04:07.006
[SPEAKER_01]: When the final stage had been sewn, skinny one looked up, to his surprise, all the people in the village had disappeared.

04:08.607 --> 04:09.168
[SPEAKER_01]: Where did they go?

04:10.775 --> 04:13.717
[SPEAKER_01]: Scunning when he walked toward the main long house.

04:14.717 --> 04:20.220
[SPEAKER_01]: As he approached, he heard the sound of many voices coming from inside.

04:21.101 --> 04:24.162
[SPEAKER_01]: Apparently, they were having some sort of meeting.

04:25.443 --> 04:26.984
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder what they could be talking about.

04:27.884 --> 04:35.308
[SPEAKER_01]: Scunning when he said, just as he said that, the people began to come out of the lodge.

04:36.169 --> 04:38.350
[SPEAKER_01]: All of them nodded and smiled at him.

04:40.075 --> 04:44.478
[SPEAKER_01]: The last to come out was one of the village Elders, who walked right over to Scenewon.

04:46.419 --> 04:56.124
[SPEAKER_01]: After hearing about your battles, the whole village has decided that you should be the one to confront the stone giant.

04:56.725 --> 05:01.667
[SPEAKER_01]: The old man said, Scenewon had put himself on the spot.

05:02.508 --> 05:05.950
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone in the village was looking at him, waiting for his reply.

05:10.669 --> 05:11.950
[SPEAKER_00]: What would be on it?

05:12.631 --> 05:12.991
[SPEAKER_01]: He said.

05:13.832 --> 05:20.318
[SPEAKER_01]: Skunning Wendy picked up his hatchet, stuck it into his belt, and started with the woods toward the river.

05:21.800 --> 05:25.283
[SPEAKER_01]: As he walked, he scolded himself of having such loose lips.

05:25.983 --> 05:31.529
[SPEAKER_01]: Skunning Wendy was so upset that he didn't realize how fast he was walking.

05:32.510 --> 05:35.993
[SPEAKER_01]: Before he knew it, he had reached the edge of the river.

05:38.185 --> 05:43.489
[SPEAKER_01]: Looking over at him, from the opposite shore, stood, the stone janked.

05:44.590 --> 05:46.451
[SPEAKER_01]: Stray where you are.

05:47.972 --> 05:51.515
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm coming over to each you, the stone janked roared.

05:51.535 --> 05:54.137
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be windy, froze.

05:55.338 --> 06:01.642
[SPEAKER_01]: The stone janked slowly, waited into the water, heading straight toward him.

06:02.723 --> 06:03.104
[SPEAKER_01]: However,

06:03.944 --> 06:11.187
[SPEAKER_01]: When it reached the deepest part of the river, the stone giants head went completely underwater.

06:12.468 --> 06:14.088
[SPEAKER_01]: Scunning Wendy got an idea.

06:14.749 --> 06:18.790
[SPEAKER_01]: Running upstream to the shallow part of the river, he quickly crossed over.

06:19.451 --> 06:26.053
[SPEAKER_01]: Before the stone giant reached the shore, Scunning Wendy was standing on the opposite side.

06:26.073 --> 06:28.694
[SPEAKER_01]: That wrecked me across from him.

06:29.875 --> 06:32.356
[SPEAKER_01]: The stone giant looked around in confusion.

06:35.692 --> 06:36.573
[SPEAKER_01]: Scanning one of yelding.

06:37.033 --> 06:38.754
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought you were coming to get me.

06:40.455 --> 06:43.076
[SPEAKER_01]: The Stone Giant turned back toward the river.

06:43.636 --> 06:45.618
[SPEAKER_01]: It confused and and we looked on its face.

06:46.518 --> 06:52.782
[SPEAKER_01]: Waiting in as before it headed once again toward Scanning one of yelding.

06:52.802 --> 06:58.885
[SPEAKER_01]: And just as before, Scanning one of yelding ran to the shallow place and crossed the river.

06:59.685 --> 07:04.028
[SPEAKER_01]: When the Stone Giant came out again, Scanning one of yelding stood on the other side.

07:05.146 --> 07:05.807
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the matter?

07:06.088 --> 07:06.950
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you scared of me?

07:08.052 --> 07:09.295
[SPEAKER_01]: Why haven't you come over here?

07:09.736 --> 07:14.866
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm coming to rep going to pieces, little man.

07:16.492 --> 07:28.143
[SPEAKER_01]: the stone giant how, as it entered the water for the third time, totally unaware of the way Skandy Monday was tricking it.

07:28.744 --> 07:40.695
[SPEAKER_01]: Sooner later, Skandy said to himself as he crossed the river yet again, this not so smart stone giant would get tired of this and go away.

07:42.715 --> 07:50.180
[SPEAKER_01]: on his fifth trip, however, skinny one is hatched, fell from his belt and was left behind.

07:51.061 --> 07:57.025
[SPEAKER_01]: When the stone giant came out of the water, the hatched was the first thing it saw.

07:58.646 --> 07:59.646
[SPEAKER_01]: What is dashed?

08:00.907 --> 08:02.308
[SPEAKER_01]: The stone giant grew out.

08:02.928 --> 08:05.250
[SPEAKER_01]: It bent over and picked up the hatching.

08:06.211 --> 08:08.632
[SPEAKER_01]: Watching from the opposite shore, skinny one

08:13.347 --> 08:15.009
[SPEAKER_01]: He hid behind a big tree.

08:16.971 --> 08:17.112
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah.

08:18.453 --> 08:20.896
[SPEAKER_01]: Diff could not hurt that.

08:21.797 --> 08:23.599
[SPEAKER_01]: A stone giant rumble.

08:24.280 --> 08:25.822
[SPEAKER_01]: Licking the hatches blade.

08:26.663 --> 08:28.385
[SPEAKER_01]: Nah, if not even saw him.

08:29.473 --> 08:40.397
[SPEAKER_01]: The Stone Giant threw Scunning Wendy's little hatchet at in there by a tree to the surprise of the Stone Giant and Scunning Wendy when the hatchet struck the tree.

08:40.757 --> 08:43.698
[SPEAKER_01]: It split that tree right in half.

08:44.699 --> 08:45.459
[SPEAKER_01]: What is this?

08:47.060 --> 08:49.060
[SPEAKER_01]: The Stone Giant said totally baffled.

08:49.861 --> 08:52.762
[SPEAKER_01]: It reached down and picked up the hatchet again.

09:00.080 --> 09:04.943
[SPEAKER_01]: As soon as they hatched and struck the border, the huge stone, too, was split in half.

09:06.163 --> 09:11.846
[SPEAKER_01]: It was then that skinny one that remembered two things about stone giants.

09:13.067 --> 09:17.649
[SPEAKER_01]: The first was that the saliva of a stone giant was very powerful.

09:18.650 --> 09:24.473
[SPEAKER_01]: If a stone giant lived something, whatever it lived would have great power, too.

09:26.234 --> 09:43.783
[SPEAKER_01]: The second thing was that Stone Giants are very stupid, and this one obviously was so stupid that it did not even realize it was the one who made the hatchet so powerful.

09:45.263 --> 09:49.005
[SPEAKER_01]: Better hatchet, that's great now, I'll just stone Giants ground.

09:49.686 --> 09:52.427
[SPEAKER_01]: Whoever owns it must be a great warrior.

09:53.726 --> 10:04.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Scunning when he stepped out from behind the big tree, he walked over to the split rock, reached down and picked up his hatchet.

10:05.337 --> 10:05.457
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah!

10:06.078 --> 10:08.640
[SPEAKER_01]: Scunning when he said, Here is my hatchet.

10:09.201 --> 10:10.081
[SPEAKER_01]: I must have dropped it.

10:11.543 --> 10:13.164
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, are you?

10:13.985 --> 10:15.226
[SPEAKER_01]: To Stone Giant Axe?

10:16.127 --> 10:19.110
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a frightened look on his face.

10:20.642 --> 10:24.043
[SPEAKER_01]: I am the great warrior, Scunny one day.

10:24.843 --> 10:29.744
[SPEAKER_01]: If you do not leave here for good, I will split you in half.

10:30.945 --> 10:34.025
[SPEAKER_01]: Scunny one you lifted is hatched over his head.

10:35.666 --> 10:43.908
[SPEAKER_01]: Great water, don't kill me, I won't go away, the stone giant rumble, I won't never come back.

10:45.816 --> 10:52.701
[SPEAKER_01]: Then the stone giant turned and ran as fast as it could away from the river.

10:54.002 --> 10:57.244
[SPEAKER_01]: Skating one of his wives with a big smile on his face.

10:58.225 --> 11:05.790
[SPEAKER_01]: When he got back to the village, he would have yet another story to tell about defeating a stone giant.

11:06.751 --> 11:12.255
[SPEAKER_01]: But this story would be true and his magic hatchet would prove it.

11:22.303 --> 11:29.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, that was another great story coming from the book when the chinoo house, Native American tales of terror.

11:30.293 --> 11:34.899
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I know that this was supposed to be a terrifying tale.

11:36.501 --> 11:41.347
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the book comes from Joseph and James Brookack.

11:42.570 --> 11:54.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, again, I know this was a quote unquote tell of terror, but to me, it was more of a

12:05.382 --> 12:10.144
[SPEAKER_01]: the atmosphere, the filling of a bro rabbit, or a nonsytel, right?

12:11.625 --> 12:23.791
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a scunny Wendy was a more of a trickster type of a guy, rather than some horror story.

12:23.811 --> 12:24.731
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll give me a wrong.

12:24.811 --> 12:28.393
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sure when this story was being told by the air quiet.

12:29.254 --> 12:34.984
[SPEAKER_01]: And to each other, it was definitely a tale of terror.

12:38.513 --> 12:42.835
[SPEAKER_01]: the belief in giants goes all over the world.

12:43.355 --> 12:45.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Stone giants all over the world.

12:45.296 --> 12:59.622
[SPEAKER_01]: It matter of fact, the Norse people, and many of you may have seen the movie troll, where it's basically a

13:00.802 --> 13:20.995
[SPEAKER_01]: stone giant, you know, there's beliefs that a lot of the mountains around the world, the mountains and the ranges around the world are actually petrified giants that a lot of the platoes like Devil's Tower and Wyoming.

13:21.655 --> 13:31.523
[SPEAKER_01]: are actually giant trees that were filled by those giants, you know, we know about giant stories.

13:32.304 --> 13:40.291
[SPEAKER_01]: We also know about a character by like Scunning Wendy who basically talks big talk and has never done anything.

13:41.171 --> 13:44.094
[SPEAKER_01]: He reminds me of one of those guys where the one-upers.

13:45.555 --> 13:53.502
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the guy that you tell a story and he's like, yeah, I did something like that, but it was five or ten times better.

13:53.602 --> 14:04.090
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, but in this particular one, he was able to come through and really put it together.

14:05.972 --> 14:06.953
[SPEAKER_01]: That was amazing.

14:07.293 --> 14:07.653
[SPEAKER_01]: to me.

14:08.433 --> 14:14.856
[SPEAKER_01]: The stupidity of the giant is what caused this story to me not to be very terrifying.

14:15.596 --> 14:27.040
[SPEAKER_01]: But because of the confident book of terror, I wanted to put it now right here before the scary months or the scary month of October.

14:27.660 --> 14:28.961
[SPEAKER_01]: Now the spooky is time of year.

14:30.161 --> 14:32.742
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I really like this story.

14:33.482 --> 14:36.522
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to find more Just getting one of these stories.
