Season's creating circle round fans. To celebrate the season of giving, we hope you'll consider

giving to WBUR, the NPR station that makes circle round possible. When you make a contribution

to WBUR, we'll give you a thank you gift of your choice, like the adorable new lion stuffed

animal, as well as our picture books, tote bags, t-shirts, water bottles, we've even designed

some special holiday gift bundles for the circle round fans in your life. Grown-ups head

to WBUR.org slash circle round and click circle round swag. Thank you and happy holidays!

I, Rebecca Sheer here, well once more the winter holidays are upon us. While we at Circle

Round take time off to celebrate, over the next weeks we'll present some favorite episodes

from the archives. Stories you may have missed the first time around. We'll be back with

a brand new episode on January 11th. Till then, enjoy!

If I asked you to name the greatest treasure in the world, what would you say? Gold, silver,

diamonds? In today's story, we'll meet a man who knows all those riches rather well,

and he values them dearly. Until he learns that sometimes, the greatest treasure isn't

the one you think. I'm Rebecca Sheer and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens

all the time. Today our story is called all that glitters. Versions of this tale originally

come from Thailand in Southeast Asia. Some really great people came together to bring

you our folktale, including Lee Overtree, Peter McNerney and Megan O'Neal, three of the

hosts of the Story Pirates podcast from Gimlet Media. Each week, the Story Pirates crew

takes original stories from real kids like you and turns them into a super fun comedy

podcast. So, Circle Round, everyone, for all that glitters.
