Students at Powell Valley Primary School in
Big Stone Gap, Virginia, helped Anndrena Belcher tell the tale of "The
Two Gals" last Thursday.
Anndrena explained: "It is my adaptation from an old folktale found in
the Leonard Roberts collection of tales called, Greasybeard: A Tale
From the Cumberlands. This story tells of one little girl who goes to
fetch a bucket of water. She falls in the well because the bucket is
soooo big, and she is sooo little. She finds a different world at
the bottom of the well, and meets a talking log, a talking apple tree,
a talking sheep and cow as she explores this new place and finds ways
to survive. All kinds of lessons about relationship to environment
here!"
