Hello and welcome to super great kids' stories, wise tales from storytellers around the

Recommended for ages 5 to 105. I'm Kim and I love stories.

Hello super great kids and how are you?

Now if you remember our theme is fairy tales around the world and this week Tian and Du

Yeb is going to share with you a funny fairy tale about a trickster cat called Puss in

Boots or the master cat. This very old story comes from Italy which is a country in southern

Europe and it's shaped like a boot. Now here's a cat tongue twister for you to practice.

See if you can say this. How much chat could a cute cat chat if a cute cat could chat chat.

See if you can say 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 from

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 Baba Yaga stories or a Nancy stories or stories that have to have

two headed 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.

You know what Kim I think maybe it's such a good idea that we could possibly put it into song.

If you tell a friend and I tell a friend we'll all have a super great time.

And if they share one and they passed that along a whole lot of us.
