The Tall Tale of Johnny Appleseed

About this episode

This episode tells the story of Johnny Appleseed, a hardworking man dedicated to planting apple trees in the Wild West.

Alright, folks, back to our campfire in the middle of the western route. We are back into the not-so Wild Wild West with another Tall Tale. And due to the lack of wildness, this story is a tall tale but also about a real person. It is about Johnny Appleseed, a man not strong or wild, no huge or riding a tornado, he is a hard-working man with a goal, to plant as many apple trees as possible on the way into the wild, wild west. If you enjoy my storytelling, I would be delighted to have you as a follower. Please leave a like here and gather your friends around the fireplace. Sandra As always, please check whether the tale is age-appropriate or corresponds to your values and morals for your child or children before you possibly play it to them. I do not accept any responsibility.
