Hello Super Great Kids and how are you?
I hope you've got lots of reasons to be cheerful.
One of my reasons to be cheerful right now is that soon it'll be Friday which I like to call Playdate Friday
because I usually get together with friends and have a play.
Yes grown-ups like to play too when they get the chance.
And another reason to be cheerful today is that we have a storyteller from Australia today.
He's new to Super Great Kids Stories.
His name is Warren Foster Sr. and he's going to tell us a beautiful animal story about friendship which comes from the dream time.
For Indigenous Australians dream time is that time long ago when the creator first started making the land and the people and the animals.
So the animals in this story were pretty new to the earth and still finding their feet.
A bit like you if you've just started school recently or even
if you're in a new class with a new teacher.
The animal in this story is a flying fox called Bungoon.
A flying fox is a giant bat which has enormous wings which stretch up to six feet long which is about as tall as a refrigerator.
And they have furry bodies and long toes for gripping tree branches.
They can be seen flying around in large groups at sunset
