Diamonds in the Sky

This episode of Circle Round, a children's storytelling podcast, retells a Philippine folktale, "Diamonds in the Sky," about two sisters with contrasting personalities. The story uses the sun and moon as metaphors for the sisters' conflict and eventual reconciliation, highlighting the importance of kindness and sharing. The kind sister, Aral, is rewarded with a diamond that becomes the sun, while the unkind sister, Buwan, who steals a diamond, becomes the moon, forever showing only a portion of herself as a consequence of her actions.

The episode features original music and sound design, and information about the Circle Round Club is included.
