| 0:00.0 | Thank you. Hello and welcome to the Sparkle Stories podcast. |
| 0:31.6 | This is Lisbeth of Sparkle Stories. |
| 0:33.6 | And welcome to the first week of November. |
| 0:36.4 | About this time of year, I really like to take a moment |
| 0:39.9 | at Sparkle Stories and celebrate our elders and our ancestors. That means our grandparents and our great |
| 0:49.1 | grandparents and our great aunts and uncles and all of the older and wiser people in our lives. |
| 0:56.6 | So I have chosen a story from Martin and Sylvia's family tree of stories, |
| 1:02.7 | which is a collection of stories in which Martin and Sylvia's family all tell stories about |
