A timeless Eastern fable of humility, greed, and divine justice.

In The Story of the Stone Lion, William Frederick O'Connor presents a heartfelt tale drawn from Tibetan folklore. It follows the journey of two brothers—one humble and kind, the other proud and greedy—who each encounter a mysterious stone lion with magical powers. When the younger brother, cast out from his home, shows reverence to the lion, he is rewarded with riches beyond measure. But when his elder brother attempts to replicate his fortune through deception and greed, the lion teaches him a hard lesson about the cost of selfishness.

Narrated with warmth and gravitas by Etombè Edembe, this beautifully woven story captures the soul of traditional storytelling, illustrating timeless themes of virtue, family, and the consequences of one's choices. A perfect listen for fans of classic fables, folklore, and parables rich in meaning.
