Hello and welcome to the best of Super Great Kids stories.
We're releasing one popular story from our archive in the middle of each month.
The story this month is Loki the Trickster and the God of Thunder, told by Tianan Duyeb.
This story from our archive is a Norse trickster tale about two friends who are invited to a Frost Giants party.
I'm not sure it's such a good idea to go to a giant's party, but these friends decided it was a good idea.
And even though they had superpowers, they only just escaped very big trouble.
So here is Tien and telling you how they managed it from a story which was featured on the podcast on February the 12th,
2021.
Have you ever heard of the Vikings?
They lived long ago in Scandinavia and were fierce warriors who built amazing ships
to sail round the world and conquer land.
The Vikings worshipped many, many gods and goddesses who looked like normal people,
but they had extraordinary superhuman powers.
This story is about two of those gods, Loki and Thor.
Thor is the Viking god of thunder.
He has a big golden beard and fierce eyes that would make most people know it wouldn't be very clever to mess with him.
Thor always carries a hammer, but this isn't just a normal hammer like your grown-ups might use around the house.
No, this is an enormous magical hammer that can shoot out lightning, start raging storms and defeat monsters.
When Thor uses his hammer, it makes a loud car-rack sound.
Can you make that noise?
