单集简介 ...

We have a legendary Welsh water monster to kick off this month’s theme of watery stories. The Afanc is described as a cross between a crocodile and a giant beaver. This enormous creature is causing floods and eating anyone who comes near. Many brave souls have tried to kill it, but its hide is so tough that no spear, or arrow can pierce it. How can the local people stop the Afanc from flooding their land? Listen to Welsh singer/storyteller Gillian Brownson and find out. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Hello and welcome to super great kids stories.

  • I'm Kim and I love stories.

  • Hello, super great kids.

  • And how are you?

  • I'm very happy because the days are long, the sun is shining and I'm doing lots of swimming.

  • Maybe that's why I've chosen a theme of water for this month.

  • I thought it might keep anyone who's in a hot place a little cooler listening to watery stories.

  • So, kicking off our new theme today is a water monster story from Wales.

  • Wales is a beautiful country in the United Kingdom,

  • with the Irish Sea to the west and England to the east.

  • It's got castles and mountains and rivers and lots of sheep.

  • And it has a brilliant flag.

  • green and white with a red dragon on it.

  • The story today is just a teeny bit scary with a monster so whole tight to a grown-up.

  • The storyteller is Jill Branson and she's a singing storyteller.

  • Jill has done lots of travelling and finding stories along the way and now she lives back in Wales where she was raised among giants and dragons.

  • Just before we hear from Jill, I've got a question for you.

  • Would you rather live in the sea like a mermaid, in a lake like the Loch Ness Monster,
