What can you learn from an old woman who outsmarts a forest full of wild animals waiting to devour her? The ability to maintain grit and the power of wit in difficult situations, a lesson that's not just crucial for kids, but also adults, especially this year. And storyteller Aashima Mishra, founder-director of The Story Monkey, will bring this folktale, titled The Old Lady and The Pumpkin, to life during a virtual workshop for children today, using stick puppets.
