Maui Tames the Sun - Maori Folk Tale

2022/10/20

10:38

🌅✨ Once upon a time, the sun used to race across the sky like a firework, making the days super short! But on the island of Somoa, a clever guy named Maui had a magical plan to catch the sun and make it slow down. 🌞🏃‍♂️

Maui and his brothers and sisters made long ropes and chanted a special prayer to protect them from getting too hot. They travelled secretly during the night, hiding under trees during the day so the sun wouldn't see them.

They finally reached the place where the sun rises and found a deep pit where the sun was sleeping. Quietly, they built clay huts and set up the ropes as a trap. When the sun woke up, it got caught in the ropes!

The sun was mad and threatened to roast them, but Maui was brave. He used a magical jawbone to give the sun a big bash and made it promise to slow down. From that day on, the sun glided peacefully through the sky, taking its time to enjoy the beautiful world below. 🌍🌈

Monsters A - Z: The Chimera

🦁🐉🐐🐍 Once upon a time in ancient Greece, there was a super strange creature called the Chimera! It had three heads – a goat, a dragon, and a lion – and a snake for a tail. 😱🐍

This creature lived in a cave, and everyone wisely stayed far away. No heroes or armies came to fight it, so the Chimera got really bored and hungry. Its heads couldn't agree on what to eat – the lion wanted meat, the dragon wanted a crispy knight, and the goat wanted leaves and grass! 🦁🔥🐐

They argued and fought, each head thinking it was the boss. The lion and dragon even had a fiery battle! 🔥🦁 But guess what? Because they couldn't agree, they all got tired and fell down, leaving the Chimera with an empty tummy.

The moral of the story? Teamwork makes the dream work, and it's important to agree on what's for dinner!

👖✂️ Once upon a time, there was a kind tailor who made the best clothes for everyone but never had time or money to make something for himself. 😢👕

One day, he decided it was time for a new coat. He haggled with the shopkeeper, and after some friendly arguing, they agreed on a price. The tailor happily went home and crafted a magnificent jacket! His wife loved it, and they strolled through the village, receiving cheers from neighbours.

Years passed, and the coat got worn out. Instead of tossing it, the tailor's wife suggested making a waistcoat. The tailor loved the idea, and soon he paraded through the streets again, admired by everyone.

When the waistcoat wore out, the tailor's wife had another bright idea – a cap! 🧢 The tailor worked his magic, and the cap became his favourite accessory. It too wore out, but his wife suggested a bow tie, making him look even smarter!

The bow tie had its time, and when it wore out, the tailor's wife suggested a wonderful button for his trousers. 🤵👖 For many years, the button served its purpose, keeping his pants up. But, as all good things must end, even the button wore out, and the pants fell down!

The tailor, not discouraged, asked his wife if there was anything left to make. She smiled and said, "Perhaps just enough for… a story!"

While hiding, a bucket of blue dye fell on him, turning him completely blue! 🎨 When he saw the monkeys, they thought he was something special. The jackal, now called Fierce Owl, decided to play along.

He told the animals he was sent by the king of the Gods to protect the forest. They believed him and made him their king! 🦉👑 He gave each animal a job, and they all took care of him like a real king.

But one day, he heard the howls of other jackals. Excited, he couldn't resist and howled too. The animals realized he was just a trickster jackal and chased him away! 🏃‍♂️🐾

14:38

Warning - best to listen to this episode with an adult! It's very thrilling and exciting! 

Once upon a time in Ancient Greece 🏛️, there was a hot spot called Thermopylae, nicknamed 'hell gate' 🔥. King Leonides and his 300 Spartans 🛡️ stood brave against a massive army led by Xerxes, filled with elephants 🐘, armored rhinos 🦏, and lots of soldiers.

Xerxes' army was HUGE,! They wanted to conquer everything but hadn't faced the Spartans yet. Leonides, the cool king 🤴, chose warriors with kids to ensure their families would go on.

"Tomorrow, we fight to protect our home from Xerxes!" Leonides rallied his troops. They were fearless and even made jokes about fighting in the shade if too many arrows 🏹 came their way.

They reached Thermopylae, with a cliff on one side and a drop to the sea on the other, the perfect spot to stop a big army with a few brave hearts 💪. As Xerxes' noisy army approached, the Spartans got ready for the ultimate showdown.

As both sides prepared for another day of battle, a sneaky path was found 🐐👣. Would it change the fate of the brave 300? How do you think a small path could make a big difference in a battle? 🤔✨

🏰✨ Jorinda and Jorindel: The Magical Rescue! 🦉🌸

Once upon a time, in a deep, gloomy forest, there was an old castle with an evil fairy who turned women into birds 🐦 and paralyzed men who came too close. She had 700 beautiful birds trapped in cages! 😱

Jorinda and Jorindel, who loved each other very much, accidentally wandered too close to the fairy's castle. Jorinda was turned into a nightingale, and Jorindel was paralyzed! 🌳💔

Jorindel camped nearby, dreaming of a way to save Jorinda. He dreamed of a magical purple flower with a pearl-like dewdrop. The next day, he searched tirelessly until he found the flower! 🌸💎

Armed with the flower, Jorindel bravely entered the castle. He freed Jorinda and all the other birds with its magic. The fairy, trying to stop him, was turned into a clucking chicken! 🐔✨

Onion Magic 🧅✨

Grumblegut the Ogre and Trolla the Troll discover a book called Onion Magic: Secrets of the Monster King 📚, which promises to make them stronger and more monstrous if they drink onion smoothies. Excited by the idea, they start guzzling the Yucky Mucky Sips 🍵, hoping for tougher skin and louder roars 🦁.

Snotbeard the Giant, puzzled by their new habit, seeks advice from Wizzlethorp the wizard 🧙‍♂️. Wizzlethorp teaches him an important lesson: not everything in books is true 📖❌. Together, they investigate the claims and realize Grogboon the Goblin Druid—who wrote the book—might just be trying to sell more onions! 🌰

Snotbeard returns to warn his friends, and they all agree to think more carefully about what they read and discuss it with others 💬. The trio learns that reading is powerful, but critical thinking is even more important 🧠.

It was a peaceful night in Snaggleton 🌙. Everyone was sound asleep, dreaming under the twinkling stars ✨. Suddenly, a deafening roar shattered the silence! 🗣️ Three enormous ogres stomped into the village: Grizzlegore, with his huge tusks 🦷, Bristleback, covered in sharp spikes 🦔, and Sludgefoot, leaving a trail of sticky mud behind him 🌧️.

“Rarrr! Smash it all!” bellowed Grizzlegore, swinging his giant club 💥. “Destroy everything!” roared Bristleback, knocking over a market stall 🏚️. “Bashersplat!” laughed Sludgefoot, stomping his feet and splashing mud everywhere 🥾.

As the village woke up in alarm, Sir Chucklenugget, the brave knight 🛡️, grabbed his sword and armor and ran out to face the ogres ⚔️. But just as he was about to confront them, a shadowy figure appeared, stepping between the knight and the ogres…

Who could it be, and what will happen next? 🤔

In the magical village of Snaggleton, something AMAZING was happening! 🎉 Wizzlethorp the Wizard 🧙‍♂️ and Sparky the Gnome 🛠️ were hard at work in Sparky’s wild workshop. The room was filled with cool gadgets, tools, and crazy inventions, but today they were building something truly special—a Golem! 🤖✨

This wasn’t just any golem—it was made from enchanted stone and shimmering metal, ready to come to life with the help of a glowing magical gem 💎. Wizzlethorp placed the gem in its chest, chanted a spell, and poof! The golem’s eyes lit up! 👀💥

“Hello,” it said in a deep voice. “I am ready to serve.” 😮

Everything seemed perfect… until Stanky 🧌 showed up with a curious idea. “Why not give the golem a heart so it can feel emotions?” ❤️ After thinking it over, they decided on the perfect heart—a dog’s heart! 🐕💓

🌊✨ The Moat’s Mysterious Menace! 🏰🐉

One sunny day, a tiny pocket dragon 🐲 dropped something small into the moat at Sir Chucklenugget’s castle, and everything seemed normal... at first! But soon, strange things started happening. Slimy trails, piles of feathers, and odd ripples in the water made the Mini Might Battalion worried! 🧙‍♂️🧚‍♂️🐭

Ms. Puddlestrike, the bravest mermaid warrior, volunteered to dive in and investigate the dark waters 🌊. But when the string tied to her waist suddenly snapped, the team panicked! 😱 “Something’s down there!” they cried.

Then, with a huge splash, a Kraken emerged! 🦑 It was huge—much bigger than the Mini Might heroes! They fought bravely, but it was too strong. Just when all hope seemed lost, Shimmershine the multicolored kittycorn 🦄✨ leaped into the moat to save the day!

The battle was intense, the water churned, and Shimmershine fought the Kraken with all her might. 💥 But would it be enough to save the Mini Might Battalion?

Sharing with your friends makes everything more special and memorable. 💖 When you keep things all to yourself, you might not only miss out on the joy of sharing but also risk losing what could have been enjoyed together. 😊 Fergus learns that when we share with those around us, we spread happiness and create moments that bring everyone closer. Treasures and treats are best when they’re shared, making them even more magical! 🎉🍀

Sharing isn’t just kind—it makes life sweeter for everyone. 🍫✨

🌈✨ The Pot o’ Treats! 🍬✨

One sunny morning in the magical land of Magimajura, Fergus O’Gold, the leprechaun with a flashy suit and golden hair, spotted a rainbow 🌈. “Aha! Treasure time!” he thought, rushing to find the end. But when he got there, what did he find? Not gold, but a pot full of colourful, shimmering treats! 🍭🪄

Fergus kept the treats a secret, hiding them away and telling everyone “Not today!” when they asked to share. But as the days turned into weeks, something went wrong... When he finally shared one with Stanky, the treats had spoiled! 😱🥴

Granny Gigglesnort saved the day with her magic potion, but she had a lesson for Fergus: “Sharing makes everything better!” 💖

🧩✨ Solve the Snaggleton Festival Puzzle! ✨🧩

The magical village of Snaggleton is getting ready for its most exciting week of the year: the Snaggleton Festival! 🎉 But there’s a mystery to solve—nobody knows which fun event happens on which day! 😱 Can YOU figure out the schedule and crack the puzzle? 🕵️‍♀️✨

This is a logic puzzle, which means you’ll need to think carefully and use clues to solve it. 🧠📝 Before you start, grab a pen or pencil and a piece of paper so you can write things down and keep track of the clues. Here’s how to set it up:

1️⃣ Draw a Table:

• Draw a big table with 6 rows and 6 columns.
• Write the names of the characters (Jinx, Wizzlethorp, Grumblegut, Sylvaris, Fergus) in the first column.
• Write the days of the week (Monday to Friday) across the top row.

2️⃣ Use the Clues:

• As you read each clue, mark an X for the days when an event cannot happen.
• When you know the exact day for an event, put a ✔️ in the correct box.

3️⃣ Follow the Clues Closely:

• Clues like "Grumblegut’s Dragonfly Parade is on Wednesday" give you direct answers.
• Others, like "Fergus’s Treasure Hunt is NOT on Friday," help eliminate possibilities.

You’ll need to think carefully and eliminate options step by step until the full schedule is solved! 🗓️✨

🔍 Are you ready to solve the mystery? Grab your pen and paper, and let the logic fun begin!

"Being organized can save you from trouble—and exploring language can be lots of fun!"
The story emphasizes the importance of staying organized while also celebrating the joy of playing with language through rhymes, alliteration, and spoonerisms. It shows how language can be both educational and entertaining.

🌟 Panky’s Potion Pandemonium! 🌟

One morning, Stanky woke up with a big, loud cough. “Cough, cough! Oh dear!” 😷 Granny Gigglesnort sprang into action with her crazy collection of potions! 🧪✨ But uh-oh... the labels were so messy that she didn’t know which potion was which! 😱

First, Stanky took a sip and started talking all mixed up! 🌀 “I bike leetles!” Then he gulped another and couldn’t stop saying silly rhymes like “My words sound absurd like a tweeting bird!” 🎶 Finally, he drank a potion that made him say wild tongue twisters like “big bouncing beetles!” 🐞🤣

Granny tried bottle after bottle, with fizzy potions bubbling over, glittery goo glowing, and colorful smoke swirling through the cottage. 🌈💨 Stanky giggled, but he still had his cough!

“Will we ever get this right?” Granny exclaimed. She poured one final potion into a cup…

❓ Do you think this potion will finally cure Stanky’s cough? Or will something even sillier happen?

He sent a magical Cacophony Kitten to howl outside her workshop. And so began a wild battle of noisy pranks, with Sparky creating the BoomBlaster and Wizzlethorp unleashing a Giggle Generator! 💥😂

Soon, the whole village of Snaggleton was fed up with the racket. "This has to stop!" cried Stanky the troll, dragging the two inventors together. But would Sparky and Wizzlethorp listen? Could they put aside their differences and fix their noisy feud? 🤔
