  • Troll Ale – a super great kids birthday bonus.

    Troll Ale – a super great kids birthday bonus.
    Sep 27 2024
    A word to the grown-ups: this story told by Jason Buck is not scary, it’s very funny – and brilliantly told, but it’s does include toilet humour including quite a few sound effects - so, if you want to discourage giggles about ‘p-o-o’ this is probably not the story for your children. We also have another fun story this week from Greece called The magical sneeze. In this funny story from Scandanavia, told by Jason Buck, a poor family are asked to donate a barrel of their finest ale to a troll. Would you give a troll a barrel of beer? Well it’s just as well this family did, because they were given a magic barrel in return for their kindness, and it’s a gift which keeps on giving. But listen on, there’s a twist in the tale.
