Laurel and the Fairy Ring 🧚
Foggy Oak Fairy Tales

I imagine you’ve heard of fairies – magical creatures that live in the woods, and meadows, and and that’s what this story is about! Laurel is forbidden to go into the forest by her cottage after a woodcutter emerges claiming that fairies attacked him when he chopped down a tree.
All the grown ups are worried that the fairies are going to come after the village, too. When they refuse to try and talk to the fairies and try to make peace, Laurel decides to do it herself, and sets off an adventure to find the fairy ring in the forest and resolve the disagreement.

Cassandra the Sheep: Cursed! 🐑
Foggy Oak Fairy Tales
05/10/23 • 24 min
This week’s story is based on the Greek mythological prophet Cassandra. In this retelling, Cassandra is a sheep who was caught eating the flowers of a wizard. The wizard curses her in revenge! She will know bad things will happen in the future....but no one will believe her when she warns them!
Unlike the Greek myth, this one has a happy ending. Cassandra learns from her curse and, when it is removed, she is able to anticipate bad things that could happen and help her friends avoid them, even without the curse.

This week we have a story about Foggy Oak’s first dog, a brown and black hound dog mix named Brownie, who came to us after she was found running along the side of the road by relatives in Ohio. Brownie thought she should be everyone’s friend (or mother, if it was a baby animal) and could be counted on to sneak into your lap if you weren’t watching. Above all, Brownie was a runner. Let’s see if we can catch up with her in this week’s story...before she catches a donkey determined to stomp her!
