Episode 11 - The Dwarf King with Jasmine

Hello and welcome to Season 4 of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast with Emily and Leo.

We are so grateful to you folks for hanging on in there while we got ourselves better. It's been icy cold here in London, but things are looking greener and we could be heading off on holiday soon!

This episode we welcome another winner of the Otterpool Park Storywriting competition. Jasmine is 12 and she is from Cambridgeshire. We absolutely love her story and her telling. Well done, Jasmine! You can find out more about Westenhanger Castle and the new town project near Folkestone HERE.

Our story is a very old Mayan story about a dwarf king.

The Mayans were an ancient civilisation from what’s now Mexico and Central America. They lived in huge cities, had great stone pyramids and believed in lots of different gods. 

They also came up with their own calendars – they were really good at maths and astronomy. And there are people in Central America today who live like the ancient Mayans and eat the same sort of food - maize.

You can discover more about Mayan Civilisation HERE.

AND, it's always good to embrace our differences with love. If you would like to know more about the Little People community, you can do so HERE
