When a curious young servant dares to taste a mysterious royal dish, he gains the gift to understand the speech of animals—and his fate is forever changed. Wrongly accused of stealing the queen’s ring, he listens to a flock of ducks and proves his innocence. Spurning riches, he journeys into the world, where his compassion saves gasping fish, an embattled ant kingdom, and starving ravens. When a proud princess demands three impossible trials—recover a ring from the sea, gather millet scattered across a garden, and bring back a golden apple from the Tree of Life—the grateful creatures repay his kindness and help him win both the challenge and her heart. Matthew Guldner’s warm, expressive narration brings this Brothers Grimm classic to life, perfect for family listening, bedtime, and lovers of timeless folklore. A gentle, uplifting tale of wit, humility, and the enduring rewards of kindness, The White Snake invites listeners of all ages to believe that good deeds echo back when we need them most.
