رونوشت کامل Encore: The Wind Catcher

were strong and strapping and smart. So, when it 35 00:02:36.710 --> 00:02:39.449 came time for their island to name a new chief, 36 00:02:39.990 --> 00:02:42.530 the people decided that one of the sons would assume 37 00:02:42.569 --> 00:02:47.030 the role. But with ten intelligent, able-bodied fellows to choose from, 38 00:02:47.569 --> 00:02:51.159 how would they pick which one? The islanders pondered and 39 00:02:51.250 --> 00:02:56.560 puzzled until mother had an idea. I know, friends! 40 00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.479 We will hold a boat race. My ten sons will 41 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.590 speed their boats away from our island across the water 42 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.849 until they reach the next island over. Whoever arrives at 43 00:03:10.909 --> 00:03:15.129 the neighboring island first will become our new leader. 44 00:03:17.090 --> 00:03:20.469 Back in those early times, the only boats the islanders 45 00:03:20.509 --> 00:03:24.849 had were canoes, narrow, pointy-ended vessels that you skim through 46 00:03:24.889 --> 00:03:27.879 the water with a paddle. So over the next weeks, 47 00:03:28.259 --> 00:03:32.400 Mother's ten sons crafted special canoes for the race. The 48 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.219 brothers spent long hours sweating on the beach as they 49 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.830 scraped out tree trunks, then polished and oiled the wood 50 00:03:38.909 --> 00:03:42.310 till it gleamed. The morning of the race, the brothers 51 00:03:42.349 --> 00:03:45.069 were buzzing with excitement as they lined up their brand 52 00:03:45.150 --> 00:03:47.009 new canoes along the shore. 53 00:03:48.949 --> 00:03:53.099 Listen, guys, you better watch out because I can paddle 54 00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:55.099 as fast as a gull flies. 55 00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:57.030 It's nothing. 56 00:03:57.729 --> 00:04:00.650 I can paddle as fast as a dolphin swims. 57 00:04:00.990 --> 00:04:04.789 Well, I can paddle as fast as a ray stings. 58 00:04:05.289 --> 00:04:08.789 And I can paddle as fast as an eel strikes. 59 00:04:09.750 --> 00:04:14.139 The oldest brother, a burly fellow named Timur, crossed his 60 00:04:14.219 --> 00:04:15.080 brawny arms. 61 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.560 And I can paddle as fast as all of you 62 00:04:18.699 --> 00:04:23.420 show-offs combined. Honestly, I don't know why you're even bothering 63 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.959 to race against me, brothers. Especially you, Jaburo. 64 00:04:28.579 --> 00:04:33.019 All eyes turned to Jaburo, the youngest and most mild-mannered 65 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.399 of the ten. The kind, calm fellow had been quiet 66 00:04:36.500 --> 00:04:39.500 all this time. Jaburo was about to open his mouth 67 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.139 when all of a sudden, who should appear on the beach? 68 00:04:42.490 --> 00:04:44.389 Good morning, my sons. 69 00:04:44.850 --> 00:04:45.509 But, mother. 70 00:04:46.129 --> 00:04:49.329 This is going to be quite a race, isn't it? 71 00:04:49.730 --> 00:04:52.389 It's going to be an amazing race, mother. 72 00:04:52.829 --> 00:04:55.250 Timur puffed out his brawny chest. 73 00:04:55.899 --> 00:05:00.759 And as your eldest and mightiest son, I'm going to 74 00:05:00.860 --> 00:05:01.300 win it. 75 00:05:01.819 --> 00:05:05.110 Timur, I admire your confidence. 76 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.250 Mother gazed at her sons with twinkling eyes. 77 00:05:08.990 --> 00:05:12.870 I admire all of you boys. Just look at those 78 00:05:13.029 --> 00:05:20.129 fine canoes you've built. So, that's why I'm wondering. Which 79 00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:22.860 one of you will let me ride along in your boat? 80 00:05:23.860 --> 00:05:28.360 I want to witness all the action close up. You'll 81 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.160 just have to carry me and. 82 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:36.839 She held up a large parcel. This. The brothers stared 83 00:05:36.860 --> 00:05:39.620 at the wrapped up bundle in their mother's arms. The 84 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:44.170 package looked clunky and heavy. The sheer weight of it 85 00:05:44.209 --> 00:05:47.490 was sure to slow down whichever boat mother rode in. 86 00:05:48.189 --> 00:05:52.629 Well, my dears, who will let me join them in 87 00:05:52.689 --> 00:05:59.970 their boat? Timur, like you say, you're the eldest. May 88 00:06:00.029 --> 00:06:00.930 I ride with you? 89 00:06:01.629 --> 00:06:05.069 Timur bit his lip, then shifted his eyes and shrugged 90 00:06:05.129 --> 00:06:06.230 his broad shoulders. 91 00:06:06.990 --> 00:06:11.069 I'm sorry, mother, but look at those choppy waves out there. 92 00:06:11.709 --> 00:06:15.810 And feel how the wind keeps changing directions and swirling about? 93 00:06:16.629 --> 00:06:21.180 Clearly this race is too dangerous to bring along any passengers. 94 00:06:21.779 --> 00:06:24.410 You can't ride with So. 95 00:06:24.290 --> 00:06:26.509 Mother turned to her next oldest son. 96 00:06:27.310 --> 00:06:29.029 My boat's too narrow, Mother. 97 00:06:29.670 --> 00:06:30.389 And her next. 98 00:06:30.949 --> 00:06:34.509 My boat's too tippy. 99 00:06:35.269 --> 00:06:36.009 And her next. 100 00:06:37.050 --> 00:06:37.980 My boat's too small. 101 00:06:38.629 --> 00:06:39.480 And her next. 102 00:06:40.699 --> 00:06:44.480 My boat's too rough. I should have sanded it more. 103 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.899 Each and every son found an excuse for why he 104 00:06:47.980 --> 00:06:51.680 couldn't bring Mother along in his boat. That is, until 105 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.279 she turned to her tenth and youngest son, Jaburo. 106 00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.160 Jaburo, may I please ride with you? 107 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.230 Jaburo eyed his mother's bundle. It sure did look heavy. 108 00:07:04.930 --> 00:07:07.689 But the kind-hearted fellow adored his mom, and he could 109 00:07:07.750 --> 00:07:10.370 see how much she was yearning to join the race. 110 00:07:11.009 --> 00:07:12.949 Of course you may ride with me, mother. 111 00:07:13.410 -->

00:07:14.870 It would be my honor. 112 00:07:15.730 --> 00:07:19.240 So mother lowered her bundle into Jaburo's boat and climbed in. 113 00:07:20.019 --> 00:07:21.540 And when Timur gave the signal. 114 00:07:22.220 --> 00:07:25.100 Ready? Set, go! 115 00:07:25.870 --> 00:07:29.949 The race began. The brothers set off paddling as fast 116 00:07:29.990 --> 00:07:33.529 as they could. Water splashed and waves crashed as their 117 00:07:33.589 --> 00:07:36.790 canoes surged across the sea and shot out toward the 118 00:07:36.870 --> 00:07:41.360 next island over. But one of the brothers lagged far behind. 119 00:07:41.379 --> 00:07:46.639 Do you know which one? You guessed it, Jabaro. With 120 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.980 his mother's heavy bundle weighing down his canoe, the poor 121 00:07:50.060 --> 00:07:53.480 fellow simply couldn't keep up with his older siblings. So 122 00:07:53.540 --> 00:07:58.379 before long, mother and son were left far, far behind. 123 00:07:59.139 --> 00:08:02.500 I'm sorry, mother. I know you wanted to witness the 124 00:08:02.660 --> 00:08:07.029 action close up, but I can't paddle quickly enough. At 125 00:08:07.149 --> 00:08:09.550 this rate, we'll never catch up with the others. 126 00:08:10.110 --> 00:08:13.889 Jaburo looked at his mother with a frown. To his surprise, 127 00:08:14.490 --> 00:08:16.790 she looked back at him with a grin. 128 00:08:17.290 --> 00:08:19.269 What's that you say, Jaburo? 129 00:08:20.069 --> 00:08:23.500 We'll never catch up with the others. I wouldn't be 130 00:08:23.579 --> 00:08:25.360 so sure about that, my son. 131 00:08:25.899 --> 00:08:28.689 She gestured toward the big, bulky bundle. 132 00:08:29.250 --> 00:08:34.330 Let's just say I brought along some help. 133 00:08:38.309 --> 00:08:41.590 What do you think Mother packed inside the mysterious package? 134 00:08:42.110 --> 00:08:44.460 We'll find out what it is after a quick break. 135 00:08:45.149 --> 00:09:00.830 Music Welcome back to Circle Round. I'm Rebecca Shear. Today 136 00:09:00.889 --> 00:09:12.500 our story is called The Wind Catcher. Before the break, 137 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.679 ten brothers were holding a boat race. The first man 138 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.639 to get from one island to the next would become chief. 139 00:09:20.460 --> 00:09:22.299 The day of the race, their mother appeared on the 140 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.549 beach carrying a big bundle. She asked each of her 141 00:09:25.610 --> 00:09:27.789 sons if she could ride with them, but they all 142 00:09:27.929 --> 00:09:33.409 said no. Well, all except for Jaburo, her youngest and kindest, 143 00:09:33.529 --> 00:09:37.840 most easygoing son. As the race began, and Jaburo's older 144 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.279 brothers pulled far ahead, Mother loosened the strings of her 145 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.419 bundle and reached inside. Jaburo watched with wonder and confusion 146 00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:50.340 as his mom pulled out two wooden

poles, a coil 147 00:09:50.379 --> 00:09:59.340 of rope, and a large piece of cloth. Um, Mother? 148 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:01.460 What are these things? 149 00:10:02.100 --> 00:10:02.679 The poles? 150 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:03.779 The rope? 151 00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:04.899 The cloth? 152 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.580 What are you going to do with this stuff? 153 00:10:08.179 --> 00:10:09.740 Mother arched her eyebrows. 154 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:15.039 The question, my son, is, what are we going to 155 00:10:15.090 --> 00:10:20.100 do with this stuff? And the answer is, We will 156 00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:21.340 win this race. 157 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.759 Mother stretched out the cloth and held it above her head. 158 00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:29.220 Jaburo noticed the fabric had three sides, like a triangle. 159 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.379 This cloth, Jaburo, is a sail. 160 00:10:34.139 --> 00:10:36.500 A sail? Yes. 161 00:10:37.299 --> 00:10:40.350 I wove it from the strong, sturdy leaves of the 162 00:10:40.409 --> 00:10:41.429 pandanus bush. 163 00:10:42.049 --> 00:10:42.610 I see. 164 00:10:43.149 --> 00:10:44.370 Jaburo cocked his head. 165 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.120 But what does this sail do? 166 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:50.299 What does the sail do? 167 00:10:50.950 --> 00:10:51.809 Mother grinned. 168 00:10:52.450 --> 00:10:55.190 It gives us wings, my boy. 169 00:10:56.570 --> 00:10:57.450 Watch this. 170 00:10:58.029 --> 00:11:01.429 Jaburo's eyes widened as Mother took the rope and used 171 00:11:01.470 --> 00:11:04.940 it to lash the two wooden poles together. Then she 172 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.919 stood one of the poles up vertically, high toward the sky. 173 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.600 The other pole stuck out horizontally, parallel to the boat. 174 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:16.029 This here is a mast. and boom. 175 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.639 Mast and boom? Yes! 176 00:11:20.580 --> 00:11:26.039 The mast is vertical. The boom is horizontal. And if 177 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.840 we tie the sail to the mast and boom, the 178 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:31.919 cloth will fill up with wind. 179 00:11:32.750 --> 00:11:33.350 Like this. 180 00:11:34.179 --> 00:11:37.529 Mother tied the sail to the mast and boom. Immediately, 181 00:11:37.870 --> 00:11:41.809 the three-sided cloth rippled and billowed as it caught the wind. 182 00:11:42.710 --> 00:11:47.590 And just like that, Jabiru's boat... The very first sailboat 183 00:11:47.830 --> 00:11:52.240 the islands had ever seen went speeding across the swelling waves. 184 00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:58.100 This is amazing, Mother. It's like we sprouted wings. But 185 00:11:58.139 --> 00:12:02.940 the wind, it's so unpredictable today. It keeps changing directions. 186 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.490 What if the breeze pushes us where we don't want 187 00:12:06.570 --> 00:12:07.090 to go? 188 00:12:07.710 --> 00:12:09.210 Mother's eyes glittered. 189 00:12:09.850 --> 00:12:12.049 I'm glad you asked, Jaburok. 190 00:12:13.259 --> 00:12:14.059 Check this out. 191 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:18.179 The wind shifted directions, and Mother moved the boom from 192 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.600 one side of the boat to the other. When the 193 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.559 wind shifted again, Mother repeated this move. Back and forth 194 00:12:24.659 --> 00:12:27.940 she swung the boom, back and forth, back and forth, 195 00:12:28.220 --> 00:12:30.460 and the boat stayed right on course. 196 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:34.860 You see, son, if you know how to catch the wind, 197 00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:37.720 it'll take you wherever. 198 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:38.159 You want to go. 199 00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:41.559 But if you don't know how to catch the wind. 200 00:12:42.269 --> 00:12:45.169 Then it'll take you wherever it wants you to go? 201 00:12:45.870 --> 00:12:46.789 Exactly! 202 00:12:47.549 --> 00:12:50.590 Now, show me what you can do. 203 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.019 The moment Jaburo took control of the mast and boom, 204 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.639 the sail puffed up with air and the boat shot forward. 205 00:12:58.299 --> 00:13:02.000 When the wind changed direction, Jaburo did as his mother instructed. 206 00:13:02.019 --> 00:13:05.529 He moved the boom, and the boat stayed on course. 207 00:13:06.389 --> 00:13:09.649 With the boat swiftly skimming over the waves, Jaburo felt 208 00:13:09.690 --> 00:13:13.240 his heart throb with joy. As he picked up speed, 209 00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:17.360 faster and faster and faster, it wasn't long before he 210 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:21.759 began passing his older brothers, one by one by one. 211 00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:28.990 Wait a minute. Is that Jaburo? It couldn't be. How 212 00:13:29.009 --> 00:13:34.529 is it both so fast? So quick. So swift. He 213 00:13:34.610 --> 00:13:36.909 looks like he's flying. 214 00:13:38.019 --> 00:13:41.460 At last, Jaburo caught up with his oldest brother, Tamuri. 215 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:45.159 Timur was so strong he had taken an early lead, 216 00:13:45.779 --> 00:13:48.779 so he was shocked to find his youngest brother suddenly 217 00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:50.399 racing along beside him. 218 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:55.750 Jaburo, where is your paddle? And what is that newfangled 219 00:13:55.850 --> 00:13:57.710 contraption on your boat? 220 00:13:58.289 --> 00:14:00.870 A smile spread across Jaburo's face. 221 00:14:01.970 --> 00:14:06.409 This newfangled contraption, Timur, is a gift from Mother, and 222 00:14:06.450 --> 00:14:08.649 it's going to help me win this race. 223 00:14:09.289 --> 00:14:10.779 Timur gritted his teeth. 224 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:12.080 A gift? 225 00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:17.860 That's not fair. I'm the eldest son. I'm the one 226 00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:19.240 who deserves gifts. 227 00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:24.659 Mild-mannered Jaburo didn't know what to do. Luckily, Mother did. 228 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:27.870 She flashed

Timur her sweetest smile. 229 00:14:28.549 --> 00:14:30.389 You know what, Timur? 230 00:14:31.690 --> 00:14:32.389 You're right. 231 00:14:33.490 --> 00:14:39.210 You are the eldest son. So we will trade. For 232 00:14:39.230 --> 00:14:43.039 the rest of the race, you can ride... in Jaburo's boat. 233 00:14:43.820 --> 00:14:49.230 And Jaburo and I will ride in your boat. But first, 234 00:14:50.019 --> 00:14:53.690 let me show you how this boat works. You see 235 00:14:53.730 --> 00:14:56.809 these two poles here? And how one of them is 236 00:14:56.850 --> 00:14:57.549 sticking out like. 237 00:14:57.629 --> 00:15:00.750 Oh, I don't need your help, Mother. I can figure 238 00:15:00.789 --> 00:15:01.750 it out myself. 239 00:15:02.230 --> 00:15:03.750 Timur stood up in his canoe. 240 00:15:04.269 --> 00:15:07.409 Now scram, you two. That boat is mine. 241 00:15:08.289 --> 00:15:11.269 Jaburo and Mother got up and switched places with Timur. 242 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:15.379 As the big, burly fellow scrambled into the sailboat, he 243 00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:18.139 shot his mother and brother a withering glare. 244 00:15:18.860 --> 00:15:23.100 All right, folks. Now that that's done, I have a 245 00:15:23.220 --> 00:15:28.490 race to win. So sit back and watch me fly. 246 00:15:29.529 --> 00:15:33.230 And what do you know? Fly he did. In the 247 00:15:33.330 --> 00:15:38.190 wrong direction. You see, the wind had changed course. But 248 00:15:38.210 --> 00:15:41.409 Timur didn't know about moving the booms. So as his 249 00:15:41.509 --> 00:15:44.470 sail puffed up with air, the wind pushed his boat 250 00:15:44.690 --> 00:15:48.269 back toward his island, where the race had begun. 251 00:15:48.289 --> 00:15:49.250 Hey! 252 00:15:49.990 --> 00:15:52.990 What's wrong with this thing? Why is it taking me 253 00:15:53.049 --> 00:15:56.509 this way? I want to go the other way! The 254 00:15:56.669 --> 00:16:00.710 other way! How do I turn this around? Help! 255 00:16:01.289 --> 00:16:08.629 Help! Timur's voice faded into the distance as Jaburo and 256 00:16:08.750 --> 00:16:12.840 Mother charged ahead. Jaburo paddled harder and faster than ever 257 00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:16.360 and reached the finish line long before any of his 258 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:21.110 brothers did. As Jaburo sat huffing and puffing and beaming 259 00:16:21.149 --> 00:16:24.250 in the canoe, Mother reached back into her parcel and 260 00:16:24.330 --> 00:16:28.370 pulled out two more items, a crown of flowers and 261 00:16:28.409 --> 00:16:32.429 a seashell necklace. She placed the flowers on Jaburo's head 262 00:16:33.049 --> 00:16:35.860 and hung the shimmering shells around his neck. 263 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.820 Congratulations, my boy! As the winner of the race, you 264 00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:46.259 are the new chief of our island. And like all 265 00:16:46.379 --> 00:16:51.409 chiefs before you, we will give you a new chiefly name. 266 00:16:52.629 --> 00:16:59.690

Jaburo Jelelun. Jaburo the Wind Catcher. May you reign in 267 00:16:59.850 --> 00:17:03.470 peace and prosperity for the rest of your days. 268 00:17:04.990 --> 00:17:07.650 And wouldn't you know it, that's exactly what he did. 269 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:12.279 According to legend, after years went by and Mother and 270 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:15.140 her sons grew old and finished their time on this earth, 271 00:17:15.819 --> 00:17:19.859 they all went up to the heavens and became stars. 272 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:24.509 Mother became Capella, a big, bright star we see in 273 00:17:24.529 --> 00:17:29.269 the night sky. Jabaron became Jalalun, a cluster of stars 274 00:17:29.349 --> 00:17:33.609 close to Capella. And as for hot-headed Timur, well, he 275 00:17:33.650 --> 00:17:38.410 became the reddish star known as Antares. Antares is so 276 00:17:38.609 --> 00:17:41.569 far away from Jalalun that you never see them in 277 00:17:41.609 --> 00:17:44.769 the sky at the same time. That's because when Jaburo 278 00:17:44.849 --> 00:17:49.039 became chief of the island, Timur was so furious and 279 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:52.460 so envious, he turned his back on his youngest brother 280 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:57.569 and never went near him again. In the Marshall Islands, 281 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:01.690 where this story comes from, sailors say that when they 282 00:18:01.769 --> 00:18:05.789 see Timur's star in the sky, the weather will be blustery. 283 00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:10.440 and the seas will be stormy. But when Jabiru's cluster 284 00:18:10.460 --> 00:18:14.380 of stars sparkles above, the weather will be pleasant, and 285 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:19.069 the seas will be calm, just like the mild-mannered, easy-going 286 00:18:19.109 --> 00:18:22.569 young man whose generous heart helped him catch the wind 287 00:18:23.410 --> 00:18:25.250 and win the race. 288 00:18:25.349 --> 00:18:26.710 The End. 289 00:18:35.450 --> 00:18:39.289 Now it's your turn. Have you ever played the game Pictionary? 290 00:18:39.970 --> 00:18:41.990 You draw something on a piece of paper, and the 291 00:18:42.029 --> 00:18:45.259 people you're playing with try to guess what it is. Well, 292 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:47.200 today we have a new kind of Pictionary for you. 293 00:18:47.900 --> 00:18:52.000 Sharing Pictionary. Gather up some teammates, whoever's in your house 294 00:18:52.019 --> 00:18:55.299 with you, then take turns drawing pictures of things you've 295 00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:58.700 shared at home. It could be a jar of peanut butter, 296 00:18:59.140 --> 00:19:03.339 the family dog, even a snuggly moment before bedtime. As 297 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:06.329 each person draws their picture, everyone else should guess what 298 00:19:06.369 --> 00:19:09.450 it is. Once you guess correctly, take a few moments 299 00:19:09.490 --> 00:19:11.470 to talk about a time you shared the thing you drew, 300 00:19:11.950 --> 00:19:17.250 and how it felt when you did. This week's story, 301 00:19:17.430 --> 00:19:20.819 The Wind Catcher, was adapted by me, Rebecca Shear. It 302 00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:24.559 was edited by Amory Severson.

One of the best things about 322 00:20:46.089 --> 00:20:50.430 creating Circle Round is hearing from listeners like you. Circle 323 00:20:50.490 --> 00:20:52.960 Round fans have been telling us about their favorite Circle 324 00:20:53.019 --> 00:20:55.819 Round stories, and we're excited to share some of their 325 00:20:55.859 --> 00:20:59.140 voices with you. Hey, my name is Edwin. 326 00:20:59.660 --> 00:21:03.519 I live in New Connecticut. My favorite Circle Round is 327 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.849 called the Rusty Cowbell. I like the part when the 328 00:21:07.950 --> 00:21:15.380 cheesemonger says, take the cheese and enjoy. Hi, my name's Sabine. 329 00:21:15.859 --> 00:21:20.019 And I live in Wales, Massachusetts. And my favorite Strickland 330 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:24.559 story is The Taste of Honey. And I like the 331 00:21:24.619 --> 00:21:27.660 part when these get all stunged up by the bees. 332 00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:32.000 My name is Kaya, and I'm from California. My favorite 333 00:21:32.140 --> 00:21:37.970 story is Joey and Kangaroo 2. the part when Joey 334 00:21:37.990 --> 00:21:41.589 says boo. Hi my name is Ella and I'm from 335 00:21:41.630 --> 00:21:46.930 California and my favorite circle round is the king's face 336 00:21:47.109 --> 00:21:50.970 and I like the part where the royal advisors say 337 00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:56.400 after all we are the royal advisors. Hi, my name 338 00:21:56.509 --> 00:22:00.829 is Luna, and I'm from New Hampshire. And my favorite 339 00:22:00.930 --> 00:22:05.170 circle-round story is the magpie with salt on her tail. 340 00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:09.799 And my favorite part is when the boy says, now 341 00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:13.440 there's a little salt on the tail, but the magpie 342 00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:17.309 doesn't keep her promise. My name is Sage, and I'm 343 00:22:17.430 --> 00:22:21.569 from New Hampshire, but I was born in Africa. And 344 00:22:21.869 --> 00:22:27.829 my favorite circle around is the basilisk there. And my 345 00:22:27.890 --> 00:22:31.859 favorite part is when the basilisk turns into stone. 346 00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:35.500 Did someone mention an episode you missed? No problem.
