Season 2 | Ep 19 | The Flying Contest | A Folktale from Suriname
Golpo | Stories From Around the World - Un pรณdcast de Rituparna Ghosh
Categorรญas:
A little bird enters a flying contest, flying against the mighty falcon. What do you do when you are in a competition & you know that the odds are against you? Would you strive to win, play fair, or find any means to end up as winner? What you choose is YOUR choice. The Flying Contest is a story that throws up interesting conversations on contrasts, comparisons and competitions.The Flying Contest is from Suriname, one of the traditional stories that African Slaves brought with them. Within that cultural context, the significance of this story is immense. However, if you choose to retell the story in a sports field, living room or boardroom, there will be lots of interesting things to talk about. I share some of my hooks and anchors in the podcast.This story also reminds me of one of my earliest stories, Leader of the Birds, one in which all birds (like in this one) want a leader and the lion asks each bird to tell him why should he choose one. Each bird steps forward to talk about his / her virtue making it difficult for the Lion to choose the most appropriate leader. While there is no contest in that version, the lion's decision is guided by something else all together. Watch an old LIVE Recording of Leader of the Birds on our YouTube Channel. This one is in Hindi, and without subtitles. If you listen carefully, you will understand it.****๐๐ค๐ก๐ฅ๐ค: ๐๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐๐๐จ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐ผ๐ง๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ง๐ก๐ ๐๐จ ๐ ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐ค๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐, ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐พ๐ก๐๐จ๐จ๐ง๐ค๐ค๐ข, ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐ค๐ข ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ค๐๐ง๐๐ง๐ค๐ค๐ข. ๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐๐๐จ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ซ๐๐ง๐จ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ ๐๐ข๐ค๐ฃ๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ฅ๐ก๐.Story Sourceย |ย African American Folktales - Selected & Edited by Roger D.
