Have you ever seen or tasted a star fruit?

This smooth, waxy golden fruit is shaped like an oval, but it has five ridges running

down the sides.

So when you cut a slice of it, it has five points, just like a star.

In today's story, we'll hear about a star fruit tree that bears sweet fruit, but teaches

an even sweeter lesson.

I'm Rebecca Sheer and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time.

Today our story is called the Star Fruit Tree.

Because of this tale originally come from Vietnam, a country in Southeast Asia.

Some really great people came together to bring you our telling of this folktale, including

Stephanie Shoe.

If you are a musical theater fan, you might recognize Stephanie from SpongeBob SquarePants,

the Broadway musical, and from Be More Chill, the hit show running now at New York's Lyceum

Theater.

Go Circle Round, everyone!
