[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. This week's story is a fable and a trickster tale from Greece told by British Belgian storyteller Rebecca Lemaire. It's got a little song in it. I wonder if you could try learning it. So, Super Great Kids, how are you? I wonder if you've tried anything new this week. It's Father's Day in the UK and in the US this weekend. Maybe you could try telling your dad or someone in your family a story. I think that all dads will be very pleased, or dead chuffed, as they say in Yorkshire, where I come from. You could try telling today's story, or you could take another simple story, like The Wide-Mouthed Frog, and try telling that one. Practice telling it to your pets or teddy bear first.
