3) The Tiger's Whisker. This is on our new CD. We learned it first [over 20 years ago] as a Korean tale and have kept it that way although there are versions from other parts of Asia. An African version in which a lion replaces the tiger also changes the relationship to step-mother and step-son. The text and paragraphing below is close to the way we share the story as tandem tellers. Before telling "The Tiger's Whisker" you might want to ask the listeners to list some things they know about these characters:
Tiger [What do you know about tigers?]
Soldier [What do you know about soldiers?]
Herbalist [What does he or she do and know?]
Wife/mother [What do we expect of a wife and mother?]
