This sounds like a Hungarian folk tale I was told once.

[@patackermann9868]

Ohh!! *I heard this story once* My friends got scared... *I liked it*

[@multiverseman4017]

😈

[@slothyspoon9251]

The animation is super cool. My roommate walked in and saw it and got all scared 😂

[@abitlate]

ThanksSssssss (also sorry to your roommate!)

[@slothyspoon9251]

I love this story, and it reminds me of a Greek myth I read when I was younger. There was a man traveling down the road on foot, before long he found a dead snake lying in the middle of the road. He became sad at the poor creatures death and gave it a proper burial so no one would tread on it and disturb its peaceful rest. Once he had finished five baby snakes came to him from the grass, talking him that the snake had been their mother and thanking him for his kind act, as most others would either pass by or simply kick her into a ditch. As thanks, they licked his ears clean and this gave him the power to understand animals. He soon came to a town where the king had great troubles. His youngest daughter had become ill and was offering a great reward to anyone who could heal her. The man offered his services in exchange for a cow from the kings herd. This was granted to him and he killed the cow and laid it in a field. Before long two vultures came to eat, talking idle while they did of the kings ill daughter. They knew why she was sick and said it was because the king, in a fit if rage threw a knife at a tree(this may not be exact but some how a knife ended up in a tree). This angered the dryad who lived with in the tree, so she set a curse on the kings daughter. The vultures then said the only way to save the kings daughter would be to take the knife from the tree and use the rust from the knife to make a special medicine. The man did and no sooner had the princess been given the medicine she got up and was no longer sick. The man became the kings adviser and used his gift from then on. I adore stories from Greek mythology and I'd love to see some on this channel and hear my favorite stories read by you. Of course only if you want to.

I’ve heard that story but it was very different. This is how my grandma told it. The king indeed had a white snake delivered to him, but it was alive and it slithered in his ears every night. The slithers turned into the king’s wise thoughts and that’s how he ruled the kingdom. And it was also called “the white snake”... huh. Weird

[@abitlate]

Oh wow! Listening to the snake makes a heck of a lot more sense to me than eating the poor thing. That's so cool that you know that version!

[@little.prince]

Thank you😊

[@jamescornell5297]

After making some family friendly alterations (like keeping the white snake alive, making the goose cough up the ring, and feeding the birds his rations instead of his horse), this would make a nice Disney short.

[@grekoy]

Speaking of snake there are two snake stories that can be seen as beauty and the beast. 1. The Enchanted Snake 2. The Snake Prince So far these are stories where the snake isn't the villain. An honorable mention to the Prince/King Lindworm/Lindorm because a lindworm is described to be a wingless dragon or a snake.

[@starlight8540]

Are there more stories with white snakes?

[@grekoy]

​@@starlight8540Yes. Check out my playlist called snake stories fairytale. There is the immortal white snake. In addiction there is two movies revolved around the myth. I think it's called white snake.

[@katiaazizi]

I wonder if the animal he offed would come back to haunt him as well.

[@cooldragongirl123]

I use to be read these tales in the Grimm tales book as a child, and it’s so awesome to hear them again. Also you have an awesomely soothing voice which really pairs well with this type of story telling :)

[@michaeldomeier]

I somehow haven’t heard this tale. I like it though.

[@heidilynnelacoste7824]

I literally read this right before you posted from Grimms Fairytale Collection book

[@StarDreamsStudios]

I get the duck (though he could have at least been hesitant) but the horse?? That’s crazy.

[@justanotherloreaddict]

This story reminds me of „The Queen Bee“ and the third son who helps many animals who later help him save a princess.

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

I'm glad you mentioned the hypocrisy here. Dude offing a horse to feed some baby Ravens is one seriously crazy leap in logic. I thought he's just go get some berries or something, but noooo - this dude is only friend to _certain_ animals and the heck with the rest (even when they're his only means of conveyance). That's so hilariously bonkers XD Maybe the Horse was a d-bag or something, so that's why we never heard what THEY had to say to the guy, and why he was so quick to kill THEM. That's the only way I can possibly justify that. "Hopefully, some of these animals were kinda jerks" is the best I got :P Oh well, it's always a pleasure to listen to these stories - bonkers or not - on your channel. Just love the whole vibe. You rule :D

[@joethecounselor]

Thanks for this fantastic bedtime story. My daughter asked for this one out of the book. Nicely creepy way to go to sleep!

[@letschat_com]

This one was so interesting, keep it up! It’s so good to hear those tales

[@Nagazongas]

I'm so envious of your drawing skills. I hope I can draw like that some day. Practice practice!

[@IsabelRodriguez-nv2ue]

WOW! Thank you very much for reading this story! And yes! These are the same APPLES from the Bible and Hercules Tasks. Best wishes to all!. 23-July-2024

[@thewatcher5184]

I legit thought,that was a Chinese story with the same name.Honest mistake,I admit.The story’s still cool tho :)

[@abitlate]

Right! That's a completely different (and very amazing) tale!

[@satanswife2546]

are you a Chinese? just curious

[@thewatcher5184]

Satan's Wife nah,I’m not,just well read

[@benmathews2762]

So why did the king have to eat a snake every day, but the servant only had to eat it once?

[@ashleypanzica4924]

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@horrorvoorhetslapengaan3351]

I absolutely adore your animations! I have a channel myself where I record fairy tales (in dutch), which is also why I came to listen to this first before orating it myself; but I have no where near your production value, Amazing!

[@_StarXDust_]

i just saw "snake" and i clicked:))

[@spyro2002]

The thing that confuses me is that the tichular white snake plays a really small and kinda random and unexplained role in the story.

[@phre1771]

I love the animation! It's so smooth!

[@mingmingandmikki]

Moral of the story: eat an albino snake

[@satanswife2546]

the story name reminded me of a Chinese tale and the tasks the youth had to fulfilled reminded me of Psyche

[@kingemo7806]

The snake look like we going into another world I been listening to stories on both of your channels

[@coqettish]

i will watch every ad for you

[@ValeRose97]

Yes!! This is so cool!! I love the way you narrated this!

[@remyn.9198]

My thoughts are, can't the guy take a hint that the princess did not want to marry him?

[@haileyrobins9026]

He racked up the debt of all the animals except for the horse. Also, why is it that in all of these stories if you can’t do whatever task to get a maiden you ONLY LOVE BECAUSE SHE IS PRETTY, you die. WHY WOULD YKU RISK YOUR LIFE FOR THIS!

[@kimberlystevenson5133]

I'm really enjoying your stories! I just hope I don't run out too quickly :)

[@shitlordwario2562]

I still wandering in why didin't the horse talk to him?,did the horse asepted tis fate as food for the birds?,or did the horse wanted to be food for the birds?

[@firestarternero1819]

I've never heard this one before!

[@Mo_Speckleblitz]

If the power from eating the white snake lingered, why did the king keep eating it?

[@stefaniehorvat4323]

I love your video's so much! maybe you can do the story = Mother Hulda next, of the brothers grimm? it has always been my favourite story, i sleep so well after listening to your video's Thank you so much for your video's they always put my mind at ease! Keep up the good work! Greetings from the netherlands!

[@abitlate]

Greetings to you as well! I am so happy you enjoy the videos :)

[@stefaniehorvat4323]

Omg i cant believe you responded!, yeah im in a bad place right now, and listening to your video's actually helps me to fall asleep, they placed my daughter in foster care without really legit reasons, she was doing so incredibly well at home, had a couple of courtcases, the only thing that really helps me sleep is listening to these stories and reading fairytales that give me some sense of happiness, so thank you so much for that!

[@abitlate]

I am so sorry to hear all of that. I hope the situation improves, one good thing at a time!

[@silvermangawolfygirl]

I feel this specific fairy tale was a bit all over the place.

[@creativecuppatea5120]

I'm not, first. I'm not the last. And I know this video will be a blast
