This story is a twist on an old folktale, one that inspired people to work together and to be hospitable - these are wonderful qualities yet are so often betrayed.    Thanks goes out to the following for the ambient sound track -  snow city NL 0009PM 210206_0243.wav by klankbeeld -- https://freesound.org/s/610365/ -- License: Attribution 4.0
