The Two Witch Cats

Storynory - Audio Stories For Kids ·

2018/12/04

THE TWO CAT WITCHES In old days, it was believed that the seventh son, in a family of sons, was a conjurer by nature, and that he could work wonders like the fairies and cure diseases better than any doctor. If he were the seventh son of a seventh son, he was himself a wonder of wonders. There was always great rivalry between these conjurers, and the monks who made money from the Pilgrims at Holy Wells, but a fellow called Huw, a great conjurer, kept on friendly terms with the monks. They often ate

The Cretan Bull Dedicated to Maggie Hello, this is Bertie, And I am on the Greek island of Crete. Perhaps you can hear the waves of the Mediterranean Sea lapping against the rocks behind me. I’m staying in a little cove called Lykos Bay which you can only reach by boat. Yesterday we drove across the white mountains of Crete along precarious little roads that led us up up into the clouds past rocks, goats and sheep. And earlier we paid a visit to the ruined palace of Knossos where King Minos

Dedicated to Maya and Liam Read by Natasha Written Bertie Illustration by MasaMima / Shutterstock Only fish, fools, and crocodiles swim in the river Nile. Well I have seen dogs dip in the blue swirly waters, but they count as fools. We cats, we are land loving creatures. Neither I nor my sister friend, Cleo, have the slightest desire to entrust our lives to a leaky boat. Sober is the god of the Nile, and his head is a crocodile. That tells you all you need to know about the river. If you

Katie’s Grandma at School Dedicated to Nellie Katie’s grandma was celebrating a very special birthday. She was 100 years old . Yes, you heard that right: 100. It’s a big round number, but these days more and more people are ripening to that grand old age. Katie made a huge carrot and pumpkin seed cake and placed 100 candles on it. While the family sang “happy birthday,” Grandma was on the point of snapping her fingers to snuff out the blaze with magic. But before she could do that, Katie’s

The World’s Oldest Religeon Hello this is Bertie, and I am here with some more ancient history from Herodotus. Herodotus was always fascinated by the customs of the people he came across, especially when they were very different from Greek ways and beliefs. For instance he tells us that if your saw two Persians meet and they kissed each other on the lips, that meant they were of equal rank. If one of them was of slightly lower down, they kissed on the cheek. And if - say a lord and a peasant

It was morning. The sun was creeping into the bedroom. I briefly opened my eyes to gaze at the rosy sky through the window. It was the same as yesterday, and the day before, and the day before. Nothing to report there. I went back to sleep - perhaps for a minute - and then Bang! Bang! Bang! Somebody was hammering on the door. How rude ! At this time of day! Most uncivilised. Amos, the priest, stumbled out of bed. Cleo - she’s my sister-friend - and I, both stretched out paws. Before

When the kids were small, they loved going to the beach. Building sandcastles, splashing in the waves, pestering Dad into digging a giant hole in the sand while the sun beat down. These were all joyful pastimes. But as they got older, the mention of the word ‘beach’ made them go BORING! They wanted action holidays that involved things like pony

Dedicated to Elin and Ingrid When you spend as much time travelling through outer space as I do, it’s hard to meet that special someone, your one true love. Of course, Marlow and the parrot are my best buddies, but I regret that I’ve never found a mate for life, and a mother for my puppies. At least the parrot has tried. I remember it well. We were on a long journey. He had been deep

If there is one thing you can say about me with absolute certainty, it is this - I am am a a singular cat. What do I mean by singular, you ask? What I mean is that I have to be THE one. And what I mean by that, is that I have to be the ONLY one. Sharing is not something that I do. I am unique you know. If you looked at the thousands of the scraggy fleabags lounging around on the steps of the temple to the great cat goddess, Bastet, you would find it hard to tell one from another. But I am
