Hi, Rebecca Sheer here. It's been quite an exciting year for Circle Round. We've launched

the Circle Round Club. We've gone on tour to Los Angeles and the Washington DC area, and

we've published four picture books based on some of your favorite episodes. We're going

to bring you one of those episodes today. It's called The Unwelcome Guest and it inspired

our picture book The Tale of The Unwelcome Guest. You can find all four of our Circle Round

picture books, The Tale of The Unwelcome Guest, The Lions Whisker, The Great Ball Game, and

A Taste of Honey on our website, wbwar.org slash Circle Round.

Ever heard the expression you can't judge a book by its cover? It can be tempting to form

an opinion about something based on how it looks, but more often than not, it's what's

inside that counts. And in today's story, an entire town of people learn that lesson

in a most delicious way. I'm Rebecca Sheer and welcome to Circle Round, where Story Time

happens all the time. Today, our story is called The Unwelcome Guest. Versions of this

tale originally come from the Middle East, where it's one of many stories featuring

a character named Nasrudin, a wise man who lived long ago.
