Hi Kids! Get ready for a special episode that's truly By Kids For Kids! ✨ This amazing story was written and performed by the talented kids at the SAFA Community School in Dubai! 🇦🇪 They were part of our School Storytellers Program, where they wrote, recorded, and even created the artwork for this episode! 🎨 That's what we call By Kids!
The Candy Tree
Once upon a time, in a cozy village, lived four curious siblings: Mopsy, Duffy, Tibbin, and Drooble – the Mojily Family! 👨👩👧👦 Their parents warned them to never go near the crooked cabin in the woods, where Twitch the Witch lived. 🧙♀️ But, of course, their curiosity got the best of them! 👀
They found the cabin, and right next to it, a magical Candy Tree! 🍬 It was covered in all sorts of yummy, colorful sweets! 🍭 Even though they were warned, their tummies rumbled, and the candy looked too good to resist! Twitch the Witch appeared and made a deal: if they didn't eat the candy, she'd double it! 🤝
But waiting is hard, especially when candy smells so sweet! Drooble just couldn't wait, and with one bite, something strange happened... he started blowing up like a balloon! 🎈 Duffy lost her voice, 🤫 Tibbin turned into a ferret with a violin stuck to his back, 🎻 and Mopsy's hair grew super long! 💇♀️ Oh no!
To fix these crazy curses, Twitch tells them they need to find some impossible ingredients for a "changeywangeypangey potion": frog's pajamas, a bear's swim cap, snake's crutches, and cat's tears! 🐸🐻🐍😿 Can these transformed kids work together, face their fears, and find these silly items before sunrise, or will they be stuck like this forever? ⏰
Join the Mojily family on a wild, magical adventure filled with laughter, teamwork, and some very peculiar challenges! 😄 teamwork 💪
