A Little Perspective - Stories for the Whole Family by Noa Baum and Tim Lowry

Gather your family to listen to stories about being grateful for what you have--even if what you have is not ideal.

(1:25) "The Rabbi and the Goat" - Noa Baum tells a story about a man seeking advice and a wise Rabbi creating chaos in a house to help the family learn it could always be worse.

(12:06) Sam Payne shares a story about when home improvement project goes spiraling out of control. How bad was it really?

(17:48) "Jack and the Singing Critters" - Tim Lowry tells a story about Jack who was heading to Nashville to become a musician. On his way, he meets some animals who each tell their own story of how they got to the side of the road. Their singing sounds lovely to them, but their visitors seem to have a different perspective. An Appalachian version of The Bremen Town Musicians.

Stories bring us together. What stories and memories were sparked for you as you listened? And who will you share them with? The Apple Seed is a production of BYUradio and is hosted by storyteller Sam Payne.
