Abu-Katrina the Lazy
Stories of a lazy husband who is out-witted by a clever wife are always popular in a performance.
Recently a storytelling friend, Yoel Perez who lives in Haifa, posted this lovely example on the Storytell listserv.
Read the tale
or
watch Yoel telling it. (Even if your Hebrew is not very good, it is great just watching him!)
Yoel kindly gave me permission to put the link to the story on his website, where he also details the traditional storyteller he heard it from.
