Myths and Legends

330: Jewish Folklore: The Gilded Cage

Two stories from Yiddish folklore of taking a chance, making a change, going for a ride on a giant bird's wings, yelling at a classroom full of kids, and marrying a demon. Not necessarily in that order. 
 
The creature is the Piskie, from Cornwall. It's hopefully wearing clothing!
