Description

We've all done things we weren't supposed to do, or neglected to do things that we were supposed to do. Maybe we forget to clean our room, or we eat too much fast food, or we make a mistake in our work. Now imagine if there was a talking animal there to be disappointed in you every time you had a shortcoming. If you're one of the characters in today's stories, you don't have to imagine! Find out what's so special about golden birds, why you should listen to talking foxes, and how exactly you can wind up with three different death sentences in one week, only on today's episode of Funklore!
