Hello and welcome to super great kids' stories.

Wise tales from storytellers around the world, which will make you laugh and sometimes cry.

Recommended for ages 5 to 105.

I'm Kim and I love stories.

Our theme is Birds and this week we have a quirky Romanian folk tale called the cheeky cockerel.

Hello, super great kids and how are you?

I'm very happy because it's holiday time here in the UK and I've been walking by the sea

and enjoying watching 10 fluffy little ducklings who live on a pond nearby.

And we have a new storyteller to introduce you to, Justine Demir, who's going to tell us a tale about a very cheeky cockerel, which some of you would call a rooster.

Now, just before we get to our story, while we have a quick word with the grown-ups,

I've got a little question for you.

If you were a bird, what kind of a bird would you like to be?

And why?

Would you be a waterbird like a heron

or a woodland bird like a woodpecker

or a bird of prey like an eagle?

Have a little thing.

Are you ready?

Off you go.

Hello, super great grownups.
