For our fourth episode, we'll be telling a story called 'Vendetta at the Inn' . "A samurai staying at an inn is unable to sleep due to the loud guests in the adjoining room. He concocts a scheme: after eavesdropping on them, he stages a dramatic revenge scene, claiming one of the men is his father's murderer. Frightened into silence, the guests allow the samurai to sleep peacefully until morning. The next day, he reveals the entire vendetta was just an elaborate ruse to get a quiet night's sleep, making for a humorous story." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
