"Cowpiles" by Donald Davis

Gather your family to listen to stories about getting into and out of trouble and how when you're the one who starts the trouble, trouble seems to come back on you. (1:55) Donald Davis tells "Cowpiles" a childhood story about one wise brother, one foolish brother, parents who are just trying to keep up, and the stories that come from memories of getting into trouble. (13:12) Sam Payne tells a story about the tricks he played on his folks when he was young and how one backfired on him. (17:08) Shonaleigh tells "The Vizier Who Married a Gibbon" a story where the king's advisor's scheme to marry the princess backfires in a hilarious way. Be careful what you wish for and the means in which you make your dreams come true. Stories bring us together. What stories and memories were sparked for you as you listened? And who will you share them with? The Apple Seed is a production of BYUradio and is hosted by storyteller Sam Payne.
