told by Mary Garrett
Sheherazade is my hero. This is my favorite story and one of the first I learned to tell. If only we could solve more problems with story, what a great world this would be! I “snuck” it into the curriculum for most of the high school classes I taught, took it to other teachers’ classes by invitation, and have since found it to be quite popular with retirees as well. I love the “ching” of the finger cymbals to set the scene. This story was the first one I selected for my “Courage and Wisdom” CD.
