| Introduction by Ben Haggarty, questioning children in the audience about the effect of the oral stories on their imagination, followed by story told by Ben Haggarty. A story about Big Rock and Little Rock who go hunting. Little Rock catches more birds than Big Rock. He shares his birds with Big Rock, but when Big Rock refuses to share his birds in return, Little Rock gives Big Rock a shove. This sets off a chain of events which causes the King's children to be swept away by a flood of blood. Big Rock is found guilty of causing the chain of events. The King punishes Big Rock by having the whole story carved onto him, and sets him above the gate into the city as a reminder to others. | |
