🎙️ SHOW NOTES — "The Bay Colt Learns to Mind"at 1001 Stories From The Gilded Age (Gentle, Character‑Building, Spoiler‑Safe) In this charming tale from Pierson's Among the Farmyard People , a spirited young bay colt begins to discover that growing up means more than stretching your legs and enjoying the sunshine. Full of energy and confidence, the colt believes he already knows everything he needs to know about the world — until a few early misadventures teach him otherwise.

Through encounters with fellow night dwellers — some helpful, some dismissive — the moth learns that difference is not weakness , and that every creature…
