Tonight, we’ll read the final half of the story “Tears of Gold” found in “Folk-Tales of the Khasis” which was compiled by Mrs. Rafy and published in 1920. The original story in the book is titled “The Blessing of the Mendicant”. We first read this back in 2020. The first half of this story aired last week. In part one, a boy named U Babam Doh grows up not knowing that the father he had never known had was eaten by the dragon U Yak Jakor. The boy was bestowed the ability to cry tears of gold nuggets, because the boy’s mother had consumed a magical rabbit stew. The rabbit was a gift from a wise beggar. U Babam Doh grows up with another boy that is the heir apparent of his father’s chiefdom. This prince grows jealous of U Babam Doh’s uncanny luck at winning, and charges him with witchcraft.  — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!
