[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to the Best of Super Great Kids Stories. We're releasing one popular story from our archive in the middle of each month. The story this month is Mamma Draga, from A Scary Fairy Tale from Sicily, and it's told by Emily Hannah Grace Brooke from Dragonfly Tales. It was first featured on the podcast on the 6th of January, 2023, and lots of you choose it as one of your favorite stories. It's a little bit scary, so you need to be brave to listen, but of course, like most fairy tales, it has a happy ending, and it will be featured in our second Super Great Kids Story book.

In a nice little village in Sicily, there lived an old woman and her daughter in a tumbledown cottage. They did not have much, but they were contented, for they had each other. And although the cottage was a bit shabby here and there, it was neatly swept and cozy on the inside. And for most of the year, the outside of the cottage was covered with roses, beautiful pink and red roses.
