WSIU Radio's The Story Tellers is a special series on the upcoming 2012 Storytelling Festival in Cape Girardeau, MO.  WSIU's Ryan Kinsella features a variety of tall tales along with a song or two as he highlights a selection of stories recorded live at last year's festival.  The stories are original works by individuals across the region who stopped by the WSIU Story Telling booth.  Today we continue with a story by Jim Highland from the Chicago area.

The 2012 Storytelling Festival runs April 13th through the 15th in Cape Girardeau.
