In the UK, a week in November is given to discuss bullying. Stories provide a safe space to explore this sensitive topic, and none moreso than the "origin" story of southern US folklore's undisputed hero!

Based on a folk tale from the Southern USA, adapted by Chip Colquhoun. Read by David Ault (davidault.co.uk).
