Hello, welcome to Stories Podcast. I'm your host, Amanda Weldon. Today's story is called

Froggy Riding High, an original story written for you by Daniel Hines, adapted from African folklore.

We have Stories Podcast merch available at Storiespodcast.com slash shop. We're also on cameo for all of your

personalized video message needs, and don't forget to follow us on Instagram at Stories Podcast.

If you send us a drawing of your favorite scene or character, we'll share it on our feed.

Now here's a word from our sponsors.

Before we dive into today's tale, here's something magical for our listeners.

Imagine turning the adventures you hear about from stories into real-life experiences.

With Groupon, your family can discover activities that mirror the tales we share,

like visiting a castle, exploring a zoo, or crafting your own masterpiece in an art class.

When I checked out Groupon offerings in my area, I saw an amazing deal on a whale watch right nearby.

My family and I will definitely be doing that this summer. Your next magical family day might be

hiding in the Groupon app too, just waiting to be discovered. Groupon is offering our listeners a very

special promotion to get your adventure started. Use Code Stories 30 to get 30% off when checking out at Groupon before May 31st. That's Code Stories 30.

Groupon. Adventure is just around the corner.
