Manage episode 313798609 series 3287950
Are you a cat lover? Well, whether the answer to that question is yes or no, this story is for you! Come along as I relay the tale of the “Three Sons of Fortune'' and their miraculous (and frankly, ridiculous) methods of making money, and then smile at the heartwarming English tale of Dick Whittington and his cat. So let’s hear some unofficial infomercials, fire a cannon into a cornfield, and find out exactly what makes cats so dangerous to small island kingdoms, only in this week’s episode of Funklore.
