In 1988 at the Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, Jan Hayes first heard the story of the Split Tongue Sparrow. She asked for the story to be written in Kanji and later requested someone at the Japanese Center of MTSU to roughly translate the folktale. Hayes has put her own artistic flair into the retelling, adding haikus to the beginning and end and presenting the entire story in a way reflective of the traditional Japanese folktale style.
