[upbeat music] 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 five to 105. I'm Kim, and I love stories. Today, we have a Scottish traveler trickster tale, The Cat Fishers, told by Cara Silversmith. How are you, Super Great Kids? I'm very happy because we've had some sunny weather here in the UK, so I've been out exploring on my bicycle. And another reason to be cheerful is that in about a week's time, I'm going sailing around the Shetland Islands in the far north of Scotland. I wonder if I'll see any selkies. So it seems right that today we have a story from Scotland. It's a traveler story. A traveler is someone who spends a lot of time traveling from place to place and stopping here and there to work before moving on again. Now, just before we get to our tale, I have a little question for you while we have a quick word with the grownups.
