305-Turkish Folklore: Angry Bird

The story of the Bird of Sorrow, from Turkish folklore, has love, loss, gratitude, people messing up coffeehouses, genie girlfriends, and elaborate pranks involving not being able to take off your pants. It's a big week. 
 
The creature is the neugle, a handsome little horse that gives Lil' Sebastian a run for his money.
