First Smile
A tale which shows why women smile more than men
I don’t know where this great tale comes from. I was sent the skeleton many years ago and it has since just grown into my version.
If you know anything about the tale, I’d love to receive a mail.
Recorded at the 2011 Brüder-Grimm-Märchenfestspiele, Hanau.
