About this listen

Why does the hyena laugh?
Not from joy… but from a lesson in greed, wit, and foolishness.

In this immersive folktale, we journey to the plains of East Africa, where a greedy hyena named Baba tries to outsmart everyone — and ends up with nothing but laughter echoing through the land.

Told in the signature poetic and soulful style of Folktales by Firelight, this story blends humor, wisdom, and timeless oral tradition.

🔥 Perfect for:
– Folklore lovers and cultural storytellers
– Bedtime listening or classroom use
– Fans of ASMR, narrative podcasts, and African wisdom tales

🎧 Listen. Reflect. Laugh. Pass it on.
