  <description>This week I’m sharing a story from Iran. 'Forty Furtunes' is about staying true to yourself  and how to think on your feet. What will happen to our hero, Ahmed, when he pretends to be a fortune teller? The retelling of this timeless tale based on by Aaron Shepard's 'Forty Fortunes'.
Welcome to the Global Storytime Podcast! Every two weeks I will bring a story from a different corner of the world so that we can get a glimpse into another place and culture. I will do my best to explain the potentially unfamiliar to provide context and will end each episode with some information about the country so we can get to know it better!
