Hello friends! Bedtime can be a special time for parents and kids to bond, and the Sleep

Tite Stories podcast can help make it even more magical. Every week we produce original

stories that transport your child to worlds of imagination and wonder, while helping them

drift off to sleep with ease. Each story is just the right length and features characters

and stories children love, and can relate to. Plus, listening to stories before bed has

been shown to improve language skills and enhance creativity. Check out Sleep Tite Stories

wherever you listen to podcasts and add a happily ever after to your bedtime routine.

Thank you!

Hey, Tale Blazers! I'm Rebecca Cunningham, and this is Girl Tales, a kid's podcast

of feminist stories for a new generation. Before we get started, I'd like to wish a happy

belated birthday to Piper. Piper, I hope your birthday was awesome. Now onto our episode.

This is Kongji and Patji, by Nina Kee. Enjoy!

a child anymore, but she'll always be just a child to me. Oh, what? You want to hear

more about her? Wait, that's what you wanted help with today? A story? Well, all right!

Kozy, and prepare yourself to hear the story of Kongji.

Let's see. I washed and hung up the laundry, cooked all three meals for today, prepared

rice and vegetables for tomorrow, did the dishes, helped stepmother and my step-sister Patji's

little holes in their clothes, gathered wood for the fire, and cleaned the house from top to bottom.

Well, I think that should be it for today. I better get to bed and get ready to do it all
