Hello, welcome to Stories Podcast. I'm your host Amanda Walden. This week we are presenting

Big Fish Small Pond, an original story by Daniel Heins. Today we'd like to say a special

thank you to Clyde and his family, Savannah Linnon and her family, Sarah and Sachi and

their family, and Kim and Amelia and their family. Thank you for helping to support our

show Clyde, Savannah Linnon, Sarah, Sachi, Kim and Amelia. You are part of what makes it

possible for us to continue to produce fun new stories for our listeners.

Here's a quick note on ads since a lot of you have been asking. We want the show to be

free forever, even as we continue to put out episodes more often, but that takes a little

money. We thought ads would be a great way to keep it free and most of you seem to agree,

but we've also been hearing some people would rather pay than have ads. If you fall into

that group, we totally understand. You can give us a dollar or two at patreon.com slash

stories and you'll get all the episodes as ad free mp3s to use however you'd like.

If you don't want to pay, you can keep listening here and thank our great sponsors. We think

this is a win-win and we hope you do too.

Hi, I'm Landon Wittsen and I host an episode of Who's Amazing Life, a Wondery Podcast for

Kids and Families. In the plant doctor, you've always loved plants, but when you leave

home in search of new opportunities, you discover that your passion for bulbs and blooms

can help others and maybe even change the world. Listen to the plant doctor and other

incredible stories from Who's Amazing Life on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

Thanks, enjoy the episode. Big Fish Small Pond

Once upon a time there was a big mouth bass named Nettie. That's Nettie with two D's

and no T's. Her mother didn't name her after a net. Thank you very much. What her mother
