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. The first story today is a ghost story from Spain, told by Cat Weatherill.

It's Halloween.

I hope you've all had a good week.

If you're celebrating Halloween, you might have been carving pumpkins or planning what to dress up in.

Halloween is a good opportunity for listening to and telling stories by the fire.

So another thing you could do is practice telling the ghost of the bloody finger.

Today, as a Halloween treat, we're sharing not one, but two stories with you.

First, we've got a slightly scary ghost story from Spain, told by Cat Weatherill.

And second, for those of you who aren't so keen on ghost stories,

we have a happy, magical fairy tale from Northern Ireland about a horse, a princess, and a boy called

Jack. This first story has a ghost and a haunted house in it. It really is not super scary.

If you want something a bit scarier,

you could become an owlet and listen to this month's witchy stories.

Now, just before we begin,

while we have a quick word with the grown-ups,

could you have a think about a favourite Halloween costume which you've worn

or seen someone else wearing and why you like it?

While we have a quick word with the grownups.

Ready? Off you go.

Hello, super great grownups. This episode is sponsored by Indeed. If we needed a new storyteller, I'd go to Indeed and be very specific. I'd say, I want a storyteller from East Asia who has good English and two years experience telling traditional tales in schools.
