SUN-STAR PHOTO BY LISA JAMES "Please don't eat me!" the chicken begged the crocidile..." Professional storyteller Antonio Rocha engages children in his interactive retelling of the African myth of The Crocidile and the Chicken during the 14th annual Mariposa Storytelling Festival on Saturday. Drawing from his study of mime, Rocha's message-driven performances are richly animated with contorted facial expressions and exaggerated movements. The Mariposa Storytelling Festival brings professional storytellers from around the country to spin their yarns for an audience of all ages. This year's festival featured six storytellers who entertained with personal anecdotes, fictional narratives, and the retelling of myths and folktales from across the globe. March 13, 2010
