Psyche/Trix tells a Tibetan folk tale about a wise bat who cleverly prevents a king from cutting off all birds' bills by making the king see his own weakness and poor judgment.
Original TransmissionsThis episode features a solo storytelling session where the host narrates a Tibetan folk tale called 'The Wise Bat.' The story centers on a queen who complains about bird noise and demands the king cut off all birds' bills for silence. A wise bat overhears this cruel plan and strategically delays his appearance to the royal summons. When confronted by the angry king, the bat claims to be a cosmic balance-keeper who manages the ratio of men to women in the kingdom, subtly implying that overly agreeable men (like the king himself) get turned into women. This psychological mirror forces the king to recognize his own weakness in blindly agreeing to his queen's cruel request. The king reverses his order, appoints bird leaders, and restores natural harmony. The episode concludes with detailed analysis of the bat's strategic approach and practical leadership lessons about avoiding hasty decisions that harm others.
