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 we have a story from the Dominican Republic, a country in the Caribbean.
It's told by Juliana, the travelling storyteller from Colombia.
The story is about a greedy king who wants to capture
the moon so he can include it as part of his kingdom.
Is it a good idea to try and steal the moon?
No, of course not.
You know that and I know that.
But you know how foolish kings can be.
I hope you're enjoying school, super great kids,
and making friends and trying new things and learning lots of fun facts.
I wonder if you've tried telling any stories or jokes yet.
Oh, here's a joke.
Why did the fly fly?
Because the spider spied her.
Why don't you try to remember a joke or think of a story that you'd like to tell?
Have a go now while we have a quick word with the grown-ups.
Ready?
