Myths and LegendsScottish folklore: Witchful Thinking????♂️So you've decided to steal from a witch or wizard????♀️
Are you sure about that? If you are, you might want to think about what you're going to do more than the characters in today's stories from Scotland and Norway. Especially if, like them, you end up stealing way more than you bargained for.
???? The Creature: ewaipanoma
The headless friends of all the children in South America. No you can't see them. Why would you even ask. Oh, you didn't? Well, you still can't see them.

Myths and LegendsSlavic folklore: Bad Heir Day????Ivan fights wizards and monsters and Baba Yaga with a music streaming subscription????
What do you get when your daughters have been kidnapped by a sleezy cloud and your son not only spends all of his days jamming with his self-playing harp, but DOESN'T want to tear the heads off his friends? You get Tsar Wisehead, who apparently just figured out that parenting is hard.

Myths and LegendsFrench stories: Our Son, Ourson, the Bear????Ourson is a Beary Good Guy????
Sorry, I couldn't resist, but he is actually a good guy. He isn't a bear though. He just looks like one to people who have probably never seen a bear, because he's kind of just a very hairy kid. He's like that because his mom kicked a toad that wasn't a toad and the toad cursed him. Don't worry, it'll make sense (mostly).

Myths and LegendsHans Christian Andersen: Humbugs????They're not so different????
One is the king of the world, and the other is a beetle. One wants to fight God, the other wants to wear golden horse shoes. When it comes to being completely arrogant and insufferable, though, they have more in common than you might think. It's two fairy tales of pride and power from Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen.
???? The Creature: The Elle-folk
They're NOT elves. They just look and act like them and have a very similar name but if you say they're elves hope you enjoy your VERY sick cow.

Myths and LegendsAesop's Fables: Bray it Ain't So????One little rent-a-donkey, one big journey????
