Vidaga’s Horn

by A folktale as a metaphor for Covid-19

Vidaga’s Horn is a modern-day folktale that serves as a metaphor for life in the time of Covid-19.

The story follows the adventures of three young children as they seek knowledge on how to “part the dark clouds” that cover “Great Land,” their home. The children embark on a journey to find “The Wise One,” Vidaga, and learn that the acts of caring, respecting, and protecting one another have the power to part the dark clouds and bring warmth and sunshine back to Great Land.
