| 0:14.6 | Hello I'm Bex and welcome to the Week Junior show. Today I'm joined by two of the team from the Week Junior, the magazine making sense of the world for 8 to 14 year olds. We've got associate editor Laura and editorial assistant Elena. Today we're going to be talking about the amazing northern lights that people saw last weekend across the UK, how Beluga |
| 0:18.5 | Wales communicate with each other and an awesome portal between Dublin and New York. |
| 0:23.4 | Plus there's going to be a big debate about whether the Commonwealth Games should be scrapped. |
| 0:27.2 | So now we're well into May, it is National Share Story Month and this is an annual celebration |
| 0:32.1 | of the power of storytelling. |
| 0:33.8 | This year's theme is a feast of stories linked to all things food. |
| 0:38.0 | So I want to know what stories do you like to share. |
| 0:41.0 | Now I've gone for a bit of a foodie theme here. I wasn't sure whether we were going to say stories from our own personal life or stories that we have read about or heard from other people. A story from my own personal life is the time I tried to eat as many chicken nuggets as possible in a row and I don't |

| 1:19.2 | eat his way out of prison and it's in like a frozen world. |
| 1:22.8 | You sure this wasn't a dream, Bex? |
| 1:24.8 | What a delicious dream that would have been. |
| 1:26.6 | But I can't remember the name of the book. |
| 1:28.5 | So if you're listening and you've read a book about somebody in a prison of ice cream. |
| 1:33.2 | Please do tell me because that has long since lost my memory |
| 1:36.6 | and I really want to know what it is. |
| 1:38.0 | Anyway, Laura, how about you? |
| 1:39.0 | Do you have any stories you like to share? |
| 1:41.4 | I do, yeah. So I was thinking about this and actually I recently read the |
