We tell stories that are funny, ironic, insightful, or just simply pleasing to the tongue and ear. Stories just seem to \u003ci\u003ehappen\u003c\/i\u003e. When a story happens with the force of universality, it finds its way into that pantheon of tales that is the common denominator of cultural exchange. Here are thirty-three such tales, collected from Brazil, China, Korea, Russia, Tibet, Africa, from America's native peoples, and other lands, and chosen for the universality of their message. Each story is presented in concise \"retellable\" form, suitable for all ages. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKirkus Review wrote, \"Presented in easy-to-learn versions enlivened with unforced humor and clear, fluent language; most would take ten minutes or less to tell.
