These mukashi-banashi are fun and interesting, but they don’t contain nearly as much content as an ordinary lesson. The story lessons are usually much shorter as well.
Could it be possible to have a bit more discussion about the actual language used as well as the cultural discussion about the story? Story telling has its own unique language style and common grammar, so it would be really nice if we could review some of this during these stories.
Other than that, I love the podcasts and will keep tuning in every week!

What a strange story! I can’t figure out the moral. Is there one? Do mukashi-banashi usually have morals? Perhaps I read too many Aesop’s Fables as a child.
