Hello Super Great Kids and how are you?
I'm pretty happy because it's our birthday this week.
Yes, we are officially four years old.
Yippee!
I wonder how many of you have been listening since 2020.
And to celebrate our birthday we're giving you a present.
Can you guess what kind of present we're going to give you?
Yes, that's right.
We're giving you not one but two stories.
So this is the first of two and our first story is from a new storyteller.
Her name is Despina Rio and she lives on a Greek island.
Lucky Despina.
Greece is where the first Olympic Games took place more than two and a half thousand years ago.
And it's the country which gave us fables like the hare and the tortoise and the fox and the crow.
Greece is in southeastern Europe and it's bordered by three seas.
The Ionian, the Mediterranean and the Aegean.
