And how are you?

Seren from Wales, Axel from North Yorkshire and Lully from London.

Now, as you may know, our theme is fairy tales around the world.

And this week, Jason Buck is going to tell a funny fairy tale

which was told to children in France hundreds of years ago. It's about a trickster cat and it's called Puss in Boots.

Just before we meet Jason Buck, since we're telling this story about a clever cat,

I thought I'd share a silly cat nursery rhyme, which some children in my class used to sing.

It's a teeny bit rude, but it's all so funny.

Hey, diddle-diddle, the cat did a piddle all over the kitchen floor.

The little dog laughed to see such fun, so the cat did a little bit more.

How silly is that?

I'm going to tell you it one more time and see if you can practice saying it while we have a quick word with the grown-ups. Ready?

Hey diddle-diddle the cat did a piddle all over the kitchen floor. The little dog laughed to see such fun, so the cat did a little bit more.

Ready, off you go.
