Season 2 | Ep 17 | A Drop of Honey | A 1001 Nights Tale

Golpo | Stories From Around the World

This is one of those stories that is a riot to perform before children. It's a clever tale that is both hilarious as is serious. If told well, this story will fit in to business conversations where risk is a topic of discussion.

Listen to A Drop of Honey and tell me what do you think!

A small word of caution for the stories in the podcast. In no way am I ‘moralising’ any of these stories. I am not a champion of morals, and I strongly discourage using stories to teach or prescribe a moral to children or adults.

In this podcast, I am trying to give you a context of where and how this and any other story in this podcast can be used to start a conversation. A story is a great hook for dialogue. Play this story out, or use it as a bridge to initial conversation with your student, family, a colleague or client. I champion a 2-way dialogue between you the teller and your listener. So no, don’t try to package a moral or message with these stories. Be open to interpretation. Don’t be threatened by it!!

And if you are still lost for ideas, just listen…the story will speak to you when the time is right.
