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. This second story today is

Jack and the Magic Horse and it's told by Liz Weir from

Northern Ireland. Hello super great kids, happy Halloween. To celebrate this big storytelling day,

we're giving you not one but two stories. This is the second of two stories. And if you're

an Owlet, we're giving you two super great scary stories plus a bonus story. So settle in and prepare to

enjoy being thoroughly scared. The story you're about to hear is fun,

and we're putting it out especially for those of you

who find scary stories a bit too scary.

This tale is full of magic and drama,

and is brilliantly told by the wonderful storyteller Liz Weir.

Now, this story has a horse in it because Liz loves horses.

So, just before you settle down to listen to Liz's tale,

could you have a think about what you'd put in a story you were telling?

And why?

It might be an animal or a magical creature

like a unicorn. Ready? Off you go.

people who've acted in adverts and recorded their own audiobook. No, I'd get the real deal like

Toop or Kate Corkery. Plus, with indeed sponsored jobs, you only pay for results, no monthly subscriptions,
