Welcome aboard the Story Ark! Captain Kenny Mears invites you to explore the fascinating world of twisted fairy tales – a subgenre beloved for its fresh takes on classic stories. This week, we're making a return trip to Hubbard County for another unique spin on familiar fables, courtesy of our friend, storyteller Wayne Kartchner!
Wayne, owner of a bustling mercantile in the quirky, nursery-rhyme-inspired community of Hubbard County, shares his three golden rules for running a successful business. But here's the twist: he illustrates these principles through the hilarious (and slightly altered) escapades of his most famous customers!
Discover how Wayne’s business rules – don't argue with customers, be fair, and master cross-selling – apply to everything from straw houses to magic beans. This comedic narrative is packed with humor, witty observations, and unexpected connections between beloved childhood characters. Wayne even wonders if these same rules might just help him with his own budding romance with Little Miss Muffet!
Perfect for fans of fairy tale retellings, humorous storytelling, business advice with a twist, and clever character interpretations.
