Well, 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 brother's grim tale from Germany.
It's called Clever Gretel.
It's about a girl who is laid back, loves life and is very good at tricking her master.
Warning, there is much enjoyment of roast chicken and cider in this story.
This witty tale is told by Sarah Lisa Wilkinson, who told us Tatterhood.
How are you, super great kids?
Are you having a good summer?
Or winter, if you're in the southern part of the world?
I'm happy because I've been seeing lots of friends.
And it's storytelling festival season here in the UK.
Hurrah!
Another reason to be cheerful is that quite a few of you have been telling
us you're enjoying our book and reading the stories aloud to your grown-ups.
Well, that is very pleasing to hear.
It puts a spring in my step and a wag in my tail.
Just before our German trickster story from Sarah-Lisa, here's a quick game for you to play.
I wonder how many countries you can think of.
