Tale by Belle

Much like the Jack-O’-Lantern, the corncob-piped snowy creature came to life, adding much-needed hope at this special time of the year! Because we all need a little reminder to go about our mundane days through the lens of this coal-eyed hero who made the most out of his fleeting life.

Meet Rudolph, an extraordinary fella, like the ugly duckling, was ostracized. Yet, Santa got him a special task, a task that fit him perfectly. If you were serving in the wrong place, your life would be miserable, yet when placed in your rightful post, you would shine bright like a diamond or as glowing as Rudolph’s nose.

🎃 For this Halloween bonus episode, we’re diving into the eerie fun of Mr. Macklin’s Jack O’Lantern by David McCord — a tale where a pumpkin carving takes on a life of its own in the flickering dark! And a special shoutout to my co-host, Halloween, my orange tabby who’s turning 24 today. With her pumpkin-coloured coat, she’s the perfect companion for this spooky episode on Tale by Belle ! 🎃 Cred...

In the refuse of procrastination lies a heap of hilarity and heaps more to ponder. Silverstein’s pen crafts a cautionary tale wrapped in rubbish, where chores undone can stack up faster than you can say ‘garbage day.’

Step into the shade of Shel Silverstein’s beloved tale about a tree and a boy. It’s a story that grows deeper than roots, exploring themes of selflessness and the enduring bond between giver and receiver

Ever wondered what it really means to be ‘smart’? Shel Silverstein turns the question on its head with humour and charm, offering a fresh perspective that might just redefine your idea of intelligence.

Frost's iconic poem invites us to contemplate the choices we make and the paths we take, highlighting the complexity fo decision-making and the uncertainty that often accompanies it.

The first time I listened to this poem, I was in awe. Though couched in the language of the animal kingdom, it offers valuable insights into human behavior, community living, and personal conduct. We have so much to learn from these beautiful creatures who abide by the law even without literally taught by anyone.

"The Cookie Thief" resonates with me on a personal level. In our fast-paced lives, it's easy to jump to conclusions about others and forget to empathize with their perspectives. This poem reminds us to pause, reflect, and consider the complexities of human interaction.

Join us for a trip down memory lane! In this special finale episode, we recap some of the most insightful stories in this season and dive just a bit deeper to unpack what was left unsaid.

What better way to end the first season of Tale by Belle than with the story of Master Oogway - our all-time favourite character from the Kung Fu Panda franchise? With a little imagination, we link the story of this humble tortoise from the Galápagos Islands with the famous Aesop fable - The Hare and the Tortoise, to honour his journey of self-actualisation.
