Hello story lovers! This episode's story is from Scotland – it’s a very old tale that can be traced back to the Orkney islands - about a bold lass who goes on a magical adventure. We've also got a riddle for you from Jonathan Swift.

We are little airy creatures

All of diff'rent voice and features,

One of us in glass is set,

One of us you'll find in jet,

T'other you may see in tin

And the fourth a box within,

If you should the fifth pursue

It can never fly from you.

Let us know the answer and you might get a shout out on the show!

And send us some riddles of your own!

Hello listeners! We hope you're enjoying the merry month of May! It's half term holidays here in the UK and I’m off to tell stories of shipwrecks and pirates at the famous Chatham Historic Dockyard. If you're in the area, come and say hello!

This episode's story is also a tale from the sea - and comes all the way from Chile in South America. Off the coast of Chile there is a beautiful island called Chiloe – it is home to lots of rare and endangered animals – including penguins! But old stories tell of another creature that lives beneath the waves – the pincoya. The pincoya are mythicial sea fairies - a bit like mermaids who live in an underwater world. They are generally very wary of humans and some say that when a poor sailor is lost or drowned at sea, the pincoya guide them to a great phantom ship called the Caleuche which sails the sea for all eternity - JEEPERS!
