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.

Hello super great kids and how are you? I'm happy because we've had 10 million downloads of our

stories. 10 million is a very big number. So thank you for being part of that. Our current theme

is Trickster Stories. Last week we heard about a tailor who was brave enough to face a pesky

giant and trick him into leaving his town. This week's story also has a giant in it. In this story

it's the giant who tries to trick a young boy. The story comes from an island called Saint Thomas

which is one of the virgin islands in the Caribbean. Before we begin I wonder if you can think what

your giant would be like if you told a version of this story. Would it be a giant or would it be

a giant Ace? Would your giant have one, two, three or more heads? And would they be sad or happy

or are cunning trickster giant? Can you have a think about all that while we have a quick word

with the grownups? Sometimes in life you gotta go big and nowhere goes bigger than Dubai.

A city-sized playground in a vast desert where the tallest building in the world dwarfs

super sized super yachts and there's no end to high end shops. So go big, go bold, go beautiful

and fly to Dubai with Virgin Atlantic book now.
