Free who is new to Super Great Kids stories. Hello, Super Great Kids, and how are you?

I'm very happy because it's holiday time here in the UK,

so me and my family can go for walks in the woods,

listen to the birdsong and eat Easter eggs.

And another reason to be cheerful is that today we have a new storyteller from Shropshire in England,

which is near to the border with Wales.

And her version of the Sassy Chicken Story originally came from France.

One fun fact about France is that lots and lots of tourists go there.

It's the most visited country on earth.

And probably not surprising because the food alone is scrumdidly umptious.

Ooh la la.

Now, just before we get to our story, I have a little game for you.

I wonder how many countries you can think of.

There are nearly 200 countries.

See how many you can come up with?

To get you started, how about Japan, where last week's story came from?

And we've got a South African story coming up soon so you can add South Africa into the mix.
