Welcome to Banter-ville USA, population Madi, Gabby, and you. We do eventually get to Folktales though, and they go like this:

Story 1 | Chinese New Year: here's a nice quick, straightforward one, we genuinely have no idea why we were so confused... but this is the story of the origin of Chinese New Year celebrations! You can expect a problematic (albeit only once a year) monster, a "newcomer", and a homeowning granny.

Story 1.5 | Gabby's Off-the-Dome Chinese Zodiac Story: we will for sure come back to this one later, but here's a little sneaky-peaky. We love a freestyle here at Spill the Mead.

Story 2 | The White Bear King: WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN AND IS THIS BEAR HOT?! In this Norwegian tale, we go for a gosh darn ride you guys... The bear is hot (we think), the princess is a dreamer, the twist is plural. The big take away here is, you can't just be a bear at some point in your life, and then not be hot if you're in human form. Right? RIGHT???
