Season 2 | Ep 51 | Dividing the Goose | A Russian Folktale

Golpo | Stories From Around the World

Here is a story that I had shortlisted many many weeks ago, but I hadn't recorded it. In ways, I am glad I waited to put this episode together. My response of the story changed after a visit to the Partition Museum earlier this week and I cannot ignore the metaphor that speaks to me.

I don’t imagine you will retell Dividing the Goose in your history class, but I do hope you will read it like a metaphor.

It is a great story to retell in the maths classroom though!

When you retell this story in the living room or boardroom, consider how you divide responsibilities, ownership, losses and profits at home and in your organisations.
