We've got a short, sweet nugget of a story this week in "The Slaying of the Tanuki," but there's juice in this nugget.

"The Story of the Hard Nut" is rightfully cut from many Nutcracker adaptations. It's a story within a story (within another story) about some sausages and mice or whatever and it's only kinda related to the Nutcracker. Patreon Our website Our Youtube channel Carman's Etsy shop

"Sima Who Wore the Big Hat" has an ending that assures you that it's ok to not challenge any of your preconceived notions. It's also one with an immensely solvable problem at the heart of the plot.
