About this listen

Award-winning storyteller Bill Gordh (Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence winner, National Association of Parenting Periodicals Gold Award winner) presents this folk tale live with no script, accompanied only by his own dynamic banjo playing.

Munanchar and Menanchar are two friends who are out picking raspberries. As Munanchar fills his bucket, Menanchar eats them. Munanchar discovers what is happening and tells Menanchar that he is going to go get a stick and hit Menancnhar on the head! So Munanchar sets out and finds a tree that has a branch that will be just the right stick. But the tree tells him he needs an ax. He goes to the ax, and the ax tells him he needs a stone to sharpen the ax. The stone says he needs water to wet the stone. The water says he needs to get a deer to jump into it. The deer says he needs to get a dog to chase her. The dog says it needs some butter in its teeth. The churns says it needs milk. The cow says it needs tall grass. The grass says it needs water. The water says he needs something to hold it.

Munanchar grabs a sieve, but the water runs right through it. Just then a crow flies by and caws. The sound of the crow reminds Munanchar of caulk. He uses some mud as caulk, gets some water in the sieve, and waters the grass, feeds the grass to the cow, brings milk to the churn that churns out some butter for the dog, who chases the deer, who jumps into the water that wets the stone and sharpens the ax. He takes the ax and cuts a branch, breaks off the little branches to make a stick, and runs back. There's no one there. Menanchar has gone home.
