    So much more than the barebone tale from Exodus. But on the flip, how much is from embellishments due to centuries of retelling. Thank you.

    There is a lot lost in the cultural translocation. Here in the US the closest match are the Briar Rabbit tales. But the wider all people stretch our cultural understanding the better.

    I heard this story way back in elementary school, and I always remembered it because it was an interesting story. I heard it a little differently though, it was some sort of sun goddess or something like that that set up the race and the reward. And it didn't mention anything about the blue beetle or the flag. It just sort of ended when the beetle proved that it had wings. All these stories have different versions though. Great storytelling.

    Hey, not trying be overtly critical, but lose the soundtrack as it truly takes away from your story telling. It's very distracting.
