You may have heard a different version of this story before, but the moral remains the same: never judge a book by its cover!

Three soldiers, deserters from a great battle, make a bargain with a dragon: they will have all the money they need for seven years, and then be prepared to serve the dragon – unless they can find the answer to his riddle ….

A king passing by a charcoal burner’s hut hears the man and his wife lamenting their lives; he invites the pair to live in the castle as his guests. At dinner, he gives them only one rule: they must never lift the lid on the soup tureen on the dining table. Will the pair live happily ever after?

In this episode, we’ll be joined by Tauheedah Mateen, a Public Affairs Specialist with the US Small Business Administration’s Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience.
