Publisher's Summary
Award-winning storyteller Bill Gordh (Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence winner, National Association of Parenting Periodicals Gold Award winner) presents this folk tale live with no script, accompanied only by his own dynamic banjo playing.
The chief sends his three sons out to find something special. He declares that the one that returns with the most valuable thing will become the new chief. They set out together. At a crossroads, they split up. They agree to meet back at the crossroads in a month. The first finds a mirror that you can look into and see anyone you wish to. The second buys a flying carpet. The third discovers a plant that can heal anyone. They return to the crossroads. They look at the gifts. In the mirror, they see that their father is dying.
They jump on the Magic Carpet and fly home. With the magic medicine the chief is cured. Who should he pick?
