First off, I know over 800 old Barbarian stories, which is twice as many old greek mythological stories that are recorded(not including variations)
So after getting my liscense, I put an ad in the paper to see if any teachers want me to come in and tell some ancient stories to kids. I go in today to this school, Glenncliff Elementary, and tell this story about Kao and this pot of gold.
Let me tell you, being able to see the look on these kids faces was truly an outstanding privelage. I mean, these kids were lit up, smiling, asking questions, just so into my story that it was insane.
I have to say, I was truly touched by how interested they were. I think being able to tell stories is a gift and I'm thankful for it.
=D

Do you get paid for this? or do you do this for free?
and i'd love to hear one of them.
I got paid for it, but I would have done it for free.
And I could tell a story, but I mean, I'm a better speaker then I am writer. It wouldn't be detailed like a book

I was once in fifth grade. Oh, those were the days, actually I wish I could forget them, but meh. I'm surprised they listened, anyone around here would think they are too "high" an dmighty to jave to be attentive for that, even a fifth grader.
Did you take a course in university for that, Baata?

But, bah to it all. If it was my 5th grade class, you'd of probably got capped and cussed out with sarcastic, harsh laughs.

Just so you know, you just insulted my heritage, my name, and my entire way of life.
