I Am Scared of Manju DumplingsBy Smart Kidz Club
Everyone has a secret fear—sometimes a very strange one! In this funny Japanese folktale, you'll meet four friends who brag, tease, and try to outdo one another as they talk about what scares them most. The story comes from Rakugo, a traditional Japanese art of storytelling where one storyteller uses only their voice, facial expressions, and imagination to make listeners laugh. Rakugo stories are full of clever talk, silly surprises, and twist endings. 13 pages | 725 words | 7 minutes
