Jim Henson's The Story Teller - A Story Short & The Soldier and Death. Two stories from the series of fables starring John Hurt as the Story Teller.
A Story Short - "The Storyteller recounts the time he was caught making a fool of the royal cook and, as punishment meted out by the King, must tell one story a day for a year. All goes well until the very last day when he suffers from storyteller's block."
The Soldier and Death - "Because of kind acts toward three beggars, an honest soldier returning from war is given a magical sack, an unbeatable deck of cards, a ruby whistle and a comparable dance, which he uses to save a kingdom and to foil Death."
