When I worked at WGBH in Boston, we put out a video of a program that aired on PBS's "Long Ago and Far Away" series. This animated tale "Fool of the World and the Flying Ship" tells the Russian tale of how Pytor, a sweet peasant boy, wins the hand of a beautiful princess with a little help from his uniquely talent friends and his own goodness. Pytor and his friends journey to the Czar's palace (on an ice ship) and complete three impossible tasks - proving that even the most humble of people can defeat power and greed.
I thought the story was fitting for April Food Day - one of mutual support and unique talent. Certainly, something bloggers know a lot about! Below is a video I found of about 10 minutes of of the program. At about the 4:18 minute mark is a very funny scene of prodigious eating - one of the unique talents of Pytor's band of friends. Let's all hope that one day, everyone will have enough.

A great thanks to Pigtown*Design and Easy and Elegant Life for spearheading this effort. Two voices have grown to include many. Let's keep it going!
