Storyteller

"earth"

- Jingle, jingle!

The storyteller made a living for himself and his great-grandfather by telling fantastical tales to nomads who passed by his campsite. Among these wandering customers was Team Avatar.

History
Avatar Aang, Katara, and Sokka, as well as a number of other nomads, took a break from their journey to listen to the storyteller's narration of his great-grandfather's experience. According to the storyteller, his ancestor spotted what the storyteller nicknamed "air-walkers" and compared to "strange, large, [talking] bird[s]". He warned his listeners not to mistake one of them as simply a "parrot", but to check if it's a member of the secret society of air walkers "who laugh[s] at gravity and laugh[s] at those bound to the earth by it."

He proceeded to take off his cap and collect his profits from the wanderers. Sokka emptied his pockets but had no money to give, leading the storyteller to think of the children as cheapskates. When Aang commented on how long ago it must have been for his ancestor to have seen these "air-walkers", the storyteller retorted that the sighting was just last week.

Trivia

 * The storyteller seems to like animals, for although he acted crass toward Aang and Sokka when they didn't give him any money, he was much gentler with Momo. This attitude, however, can be more easily attributed to the fact that the winged lemur was the only one out of the three to pay him.
