The Liar: An Armenian Folktale - The Story of the Peasant Who outsmarted the King

In this charming folktale from Armenia, a bored king issues a challenge to his subjects to tell him the greatest lie they’ve ever heard. But when a simple peasant walks into the king’s throne room with a cauldron and claims the king owes him a pot of gold, the king is left stumped. Will the peasant’s clever twist on the truth be enough to win the king’s golden apple? Watch to find out in this animated adaptation of “The Liar“ by Armenian-American cartoonist Hayk Manukyan. This video is a great way to learn about culture and folktales from Armenia, and also to enjoy a clever and witty story that teaches a moral lesson. Music by The Shoghaken Ensemble in Argentina
