Welcome back, friends, to short stories for kids.

0:11.7

And now it's time for today's story request.

0:15.7

Hi, Lucy.

0:16.8

Since about two years old, I have been telling my eldest daughter a bedtime story every night.

0:22.9

The story always had to start the same way. Once upon a time, Anna and Elser were walking in the

0:29.3

woods when they heard a rustling sound. My daughters, Elle and Lucy, would love a story told by you

0:36.6

that started the same way.

0:38.9

Let's see if you can come up with a new rustling sound that takes the sisters on a grand adventure.

Once upon a time, Lucy and Elle were walking in the woods when they heard a rustling sound.

1:08.0

There were lots of rustling sounds in the woods, but for some reason, this noise make Lucy and L stop and look, peering beneath a bush. They were surprised to see a very

1:57.8

"'Tis not for the likes of you humans,' said the tiny man. Tis for the magic folk.

2:05.0

Magic folk, repeated Lucy. What, like, like fairies? Mm, that's right, dear, said the tiny woman,

2:14.1
