If you want to download one, I can arrange that. Just send me a mail telling me which story you’d like, and your reason for wanting a download.

I first heard the story over 30 years ago from a German teller, Ingeborg Klink. It is also told as a Nasruddin tale. My version has just grown in the telling over the years.

Another recording is also on my DVD The Tale of the Brown Calf and other Stories.
