Birdy and the Magic Chocolate Tree Hello, this is Jana and I’m dropping by with a delicious Birdy story. Everyday when Mum or Dad picked up Jake from school, they would walk home past the sweet shop. Well it sold real food too, but Jake was only interested in the sweet treats. “Dad, my tummy’s […]

The young Princess Beatrice saves an un-golden fish. The fish grants her three wishes. She is torn. Should she make unselfish wishes for the world? Or think of herself? A funny fairytale from our Prince Bertie series. In the real world, we extend our respects to Her Majesty the Queen who lived unselfishly and with enormous dignity.

Once upon a time, when we started Storynory back in 2005, our main character was called Bertie. He’s a royal prince, who was one turned into our frog. That’s why Storynory’s mascot is a little green frog wearing earphones. After a long time away on holiday, Bertie is making a return in this story. He’s in his human form, but he’s still friends with all the pond life, including Colin the Grumpy Carp.

The Musical Monkey is caught in this story. Do you think he will end up on the dinner table? Or will he have yet another trick up his sleeve? Well, he hasn't got a sleeve, but if he did, he might have a trick up it. https://www.patreon.com/Storynory

It's only natural for parents to worry, and sometimes they worry a little too much. Once, a girl was beautiful - and her parents worried that she was too pretty. They were so concerned that they sent her out into the world with a bowl over her head. Poor girl! How could she find a job? How could she find love? When she had a bowl over her head? People were laughing at her. Even the fairies of the wood thought she was funny. Finally, a kind storyteller and a kind son of a wealthy farmer come into her life. But would she ever take the bowl off her head? That's the question? We think all ages will enjoy this funny, romantic, and only slightly silly story from Japan. And in case you are wondering, the Japanese words at the start are simply 1, 2, 3. Our sources for the story and the picture are The Wooden Bowl Japanese Fairy Tale Series, No. 16 and Japanese Fairy Tales, by Grace James. The story was adapted by Bertie for Storynory and read by Jana. The music is Japanese Souvenir by DeKibo licenced from Beat. We are delighted to dedicate this story to Cora and Margo who Storynory on Patreon.Patreon

And of course one of the things that everyone knows about ancient Egypt now, is that they built the pyramids.
