Myths and Legends

171-Indian Folklore: Love and Marriage

Three stories of love from India. The first is what happens when a prostitute and a thief try to build a life together.  
 
The second is what happens when a barber gets to ask a king for anything.  
 
The third is about a man who saves a mouse...and what happens when that mouse wants to get married.  
 
The creature is the man of your dreams...if your dreams happen to include a man who is a snake-wolf-dragon.
