The part that stayed strongest with me - "Bread is a matter of life and death! If you can't look after your own, do you expect me to do it for you?" This has so much in it. Themes of codependence and interdependence, kind acts becoming doormats to walk over, lessons in standing up to tyrants, watching closely for body language rather than words, and the wisdom behind seemingly stupid hands. Thank you so much for the story. Beautifully told.

A true bard in the classic style , mesmeric story telling , really enjoyable

I just found your channel and love the emphasis and enthusiasm in your magical way of storytelling. The serpent and the dragons tongues really had an impact on my visions, my experience today watching a bee I had rescued was fascinating. The proboscis looked forked as it touched the sugar water I had put on the tip of a leaf and my imagination was flashing back and forth from dragon to bees (haha) Dragon’s tongue can grant magical powers in many mythologies aswell as the magic of the elements…fire features a lot and dragons breathe fire, earth and water when they go deep underground and the well. Air and aether when he floats up by his hair (and the bee for me) Just brilliant! 😀

Really interesting visionary interaction with the natural world. Deepens everything looking through the eyes of myth 🙏 🐝

I love your entrancing telling of tales , and I trust that you know that gnomes truly exist and are good natured if you are polite and undemanding Blessed Be

Thanks for a great story and captivating performance. The youngest brother was rewarded for thinking for himself. Not being polite or well behaved. Very good advice! Great channel!

I liked the thread of fire. The apples were red and delicious, but the three boys were drawn in by the fire and the food cooking in the mystery castle. The girls were combing three dragon heads, which represents fire underground. The girls then have to tell the fire the truth. When the truth is restored to the fire, the kings fire is renewed, and he sets things straight, including bringing back abundance.

Being left alone at the bottom of the well resonated the most to me and even more so how the youngest brother found the way back up to civilization by the flute that summoned the gnomes who brought him up from of the underworld. From the chaos, order was restored.. I love your story telling

Enchanting- A whiff of Persephone and Demeter- eating fruit, trapped in the underworld, abundance returned to the kingdom. Interesting how the "brown little earth gods" that save him appear when he resigns himself to death and creates beauty by playing the flute.

Love the evocative power of the flute to summon the spirits of earth light. And the time to not make music and the time to make music. That the time to make music is between the brink of death and the reemergence of life.

I have a personal experience in a drum journey where I learned to tame my own dragon (which apeared when my spirit animal the snake traveld in my body and I rised up and walked). My question was: How do I get power to make my marriage better. And THEN the dragon said: Lower your tale, soften your eyes and make a pause before you send your fire out. "But how", I asked. Learn to se, talk and hear with your heart, the dragon told me. That makes me think of all the fary tales (Beowulf also) and I intepreted them in an other way now.
