#119 - The Soap Seller's Son

An old Persian fairy tale about a poor boy who gets lost in the desert and falls in love with a princess.

Joe found a rattlesnake in the garden this week. If you want to see a picture of it and read about how we handle venomous snakes here on the mountain, I wrote about it in the blog this week at https://www.listentosleep.com/blog/rattlesnakes-in-the-grass/.
