Hello super great kids and how are you? I hope you had a happy week.

I'm pleased because it's nearly Halloween and I like all the pumpkins which are glowing

orange in the fields near my house. There are two stories this week and Irish story about

fairies told by Kate Corkery and a second bonus story which will be posted tomorrow on Saturday,

which is a Halloween tale from Amy Douglas called Ruby Red Lips.

It's what we call a scary not scary story because it has a happy ending and it's not really very scary.

I wonder if you're doing something for Halloween and if you're going to dress up for it.

Halloween is a great opportunity to tell your friends stories.

If you could tell someone a story, who would you tell one to I wonder? And which story do you

think you'd tell? Have a little think about that while we have a quick word with the grown-ups.

Hello super great Kim. Hello super great David. Kim, I have a question. I love questions

far away. What is the best kind of story? Well, I think the best kind of story is an old story which

has been told for many years and passed on from person to person. Oh that's a good answer.

I thought you're going to say something specific like only by the Yaga stories or a Nancy stories

or stories that have to have two head of giants in them. No, just a story which has been loved

and passed along and told by lots of people. Right okay so if we really want more people to hear

stories seems like we're going to need help from our lovely listeners. Yes, we know these stories

because people have been sharing them with each other for donkeys years. I tell you, you tell

someone else, they tell someone else and soon everyone knows the story. Hmm, you know what Kim,
