Hello and welcome to super great kids stories.
Wise tales from storytellers around the world which will make you laugh and sometimes cry.
Recommended for ages 5 to 105. I'm Kim and I love stories.
This week's story is a fable and a trickster tale from Greece, told by British Belgian storyteller Rebecca Lemaire.
It's got a little song in it.
I wonder if you could try learning it.
Those super great kids, how are you?
I wonder if you've tried anything new this week.
It's Father's Day in the UK and in the US this weekend.
Maybe you could try telling your dad or someone in your family a story.
I think that all dads will be very pleased or dead chuffed as they say in Yorkshire where I come from.
You could try telling today's story or you could take another
simple story like the wide mouth frog and try telling that one.
Practice telling it to your pets or teddy bear first.
This week's story is a fable from Greece
which is a sunny beautiful country in the south of Europe where they grow delicious olives.
Fables are stories which usually have animals in them and they carry a little message
or a little nugget of wisdom to teach us.
The story that Rebecca Lemaire is going to tell is one of Esop's fables.
Historians think that Esop lived two and a half thousand years ago in ancient Greece.
