Granny Gigglesnort is busy at her iron cauldron, stirring up a liquid that gloops and glurped. Today is the day she perfects her Polymorph Potionโthe brew of becoming! One sip, and her brave volunteer, Stanky, should be able to transform into any creature he wishes.ย
But as it turns out, shape-shifting is a lot harder than it looks! Stanky tries to visualize majestic creatures, but the results are a bit... surprising:
The Rhino: Stanky wants to be a silver-horned unicorn, but he turns into a heavy, grey Rhinoceros that smashes the kitchen table!ย
The Turkey: Stanky tries for a noble Griffin, but ends up as a wobbly, confused Turkey with a long, red wattle.ย
The "B-Grade" Chimera: Stanky attempts to become a legendary Chimera, but becomes a horrificulous mess with a poodle body, a chicken head, a rat head, and a frog for a tail!ย
Granny feels like a failure and almost hangs up her witch's hat, but Stanky reminds her of her own wise words: "Fall down seven times, stand up eight!" He encourages her not to give up, even after three "zoos of accidents".ย
In this kids story podcast episode, Granny tries one more time with a shimmering Dragon Scale for stability. Watch as her eighth attempt finally takes flight, teaching us all that failure isn't the end, it's just the first step toward becoming a dragon!
