Seo é Eibhlín Bheag agus an Cnó Cócó Le Brigid O'Dea Is eilifint í Eibhlín. Ach eilifint an-bheag atá inti.  Tá Eibhlín ag imirt cluiche lena cairde ach níl sí in ann teacht ar an liathróid! (Bhuel cnó cócó atá i gceist sa cluiche seo!!) Tugann an eilifint léimt. Síneann sí amach a trunc. Dreapann sí creann ard. Ach cibé rud a dhéanann an eilifint, ní bhfaigheann sí an cnó cócó choíche. Tá a dóchas caillte aici go dtí go dtarlaíonn rud éigin aisteach. Sáinníodh an cnó cócó i spás beag. Agus ní bhféadfadh ach le hainmhí amháin an cnó cócó a aimsiú… Scríofa ag Brigid O'DeaIs í Ursula McGinn a stiúir an scéalPerformed by Morgan CookeIs í Anna Mullarkey a rinne an dearadh fuaime agus a chruthaigh an ceol Chruthaigh Tom Lane an ceol téamaSound Engineer- Ger Kellett Super Paua TeamCompany Director- Sian Ní MhuiríProducer- Heather RoseEngagement Director- Mark Ball @SuperPaua - Twitter/Facebook@Super.Paua - Instagram This series was produced in collaboration with axis: Ballymun.

This week's Super Paua Story is The Office of Lost Things, by Sara Buckley.   "Ding. Another pile of mail comes down the shoot and lands on the table, amongst the sea of brown there is one cream envelope. Seeing this ANEURIN stands quickly and shuffles through the mountain before grabbing it.  Aneurin: Finally. He opens it with great care, using a letter opener. Aneurin: ‘I find myself to still be utterly bewitched by you and yet the spell must be broken if I am to go on living…this will be my last correspondence…even now in my mind’s eye I gaze upon the deep green sea and bask in the shade of JJ’s Tower. And you, my most cherished Winnie, are all that fills my thoughts…all my love, Violet.’  Pause Aneurin: Well that’s not ideal now is it."

This week's Super Paua Story is Duisíonn Na hIoraí Rua, by Lewis Kenny. "Far across the sea, in a wild and mystical forest called Iorainn, there lived a fuzzy bunch of red squirrels known as the Iora Rua. Now red squirrels love nothing more in the world than collecting acorns. Every autumn they would all go out together and gather them up in a big pile to store for winter. They would sing their squirrel songs, dance their acorn jigs, tell magical squirrel stories in their squeaky squirrel language called Bíog. These were exceptional times and the Iora Rua lived in peace and harmony. But nothing lasts forever."

This week's Super Paua Story is Derval, by Gráinne Keenan.   "The thing about Derval was that she had a serious affliction. She didn’t actually want to stab Angela Fitzgerald’s birthday trampoline with a knife or smash her face into the birthday cake. Or yank Donal Higgins’ trousers down in front of everyone at lunch. Or cover all the boys’ toilet seats with cling film. Or plant worms in Neasa Toohill’s ham sandwich. She didn’t want to do these things but there was something powerful and irresistible inside that made her do them. Every time she tried to make a friend, her own mischievous urges got in the way.

It was Nan’s dream to take home the gold prize and only one thing stood in her way – Petronella Hastings; bean ard a bhí i gcónaí ag cruthú rí rá agus ruaille buaille.

This week's Super Paua Story is Sam and the Shapeshifters, by Wren Dennehy.  "But on nights when Mam wasn’t around, Granny and I would watch tv programmes about my favourite topic: space. I was obsessed with space, so much so that Granny nicknamed me her ‘little alien’. I loved pretending to be an alien from another planet. I always thought humans were so boring compared to the endless possibilities that existed in the alien world. Space was for everyone. It didn’t matter if you were a girl or a boy or whatever. In space, everyone was equal and nothing was weird."

This week's Super Paua Story is A Head Full Of Colour, by Berni Stack.   "Wait! There in the distance, there’s a pinprick of light. Do you want to see? Is it far away in the distance? It’s out of your touch. Stretch out those fingers, go on. Stretch some more. Maybe you can touch it. A star moving across the night sky, a silvery streak, a fuzzy blur. Or maybe it’s a firework about to burst open and crack into the night sky, spitting out its fantastic colours. Ooooh. Aaaaaah."

This week's Super Paua Story is Moonstone, by Aoife Meagher.   "I'm only supposed to come up to the attic on Saturday nights, because stargazing is a late night activity.  Doesn't matter these days.  Can't sleep at night.  Can't focus during the day.  Whole neighbourhood is the same."     Directed by Mark Ball Performed by Ailbhe Cowley Sound Design and Composition by Lara Gallagher Theme Tune by Tom Lane   @SuperPaua - Twitter/Facebook @Super.Paua - Instagram   Made possible by support from the Arts Council
