Show Notes

 Today's story takes us to ancient Japan, where Issun-Boshi, the Inch High Samurai, proved that size doesn't matter when your heart is mighty! πŸ’–πŸ—‘οΈ

Born as tiny as a pinky finger to an old couple, Inchy Bo dreamed of samurai glory. Setting sail to Kyoto in a rice bowl boat, he became the guardian of Haru, the Lord of Sanjo's daughter. Their days were filled with joy until a monstrous Oni attacked! 😱πŸŒͺ️

In a heroic battle, Inchy was swallowed whole, but his bravery prevailed. Haru discovered a magic hammer, and with a wish, Issun-Boshi grew into a full-sized hero! πŸ’‘πŸ―

Returning to his parents, they celebrated their brave samurai, saying that it's what's inside that counts. πŸŽ‰πŸ“œ
