 CARDIFF,Wales—Poets，singers and musicians from across the globe gathered in Wales to celebrate the tradition of storytelling.

“It might seem strange that people still want to listen in age of watching television，but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again，” said David Ambrose,director of Beyond the Border，an international storytelling festival(节)   in Wales.

“Some of the tales,like the Inuit from Canada，are thousands of years old. So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time，” he said early this month.

 One of my favourites as a young girl was writing. I found that it was a great way to express what I was feeling. I actually wrote journals as early as my first grade. I find them amusing to look at now. I even read some to my son. I noticed that he actually started doing the same thing. He came to me the other day and wanted to read me a story he had written——Sponge Bob Square Pants.

As he sat there and read it aloud to me，it brought a big smile to my face， for I saw myself in him. Recently his school held auditions(试演) for a talent show and he was really interested in it. I remembered him asking me，“Mum， what is my talent?” I asked him to list all of the things that he enjoyed doing. He said reading was at the top,followed by drawing,writing and playing Super Mario Brothers. So I asked him, “What can you do to combine some of those things that people would enjoy watching?”

He disappeared into his room for a while and I began to get a little worried. I know how embarrassed he got performing in front of the big crowds. I heard him rushing down the stairs with excitement.

“I can do a puppet (木偶) show,Mum!” He showed me what he had come up with while in his room. He called it, Yoshi Goes to Africa. What a great idea I thought to myself. I found a puppet show tent online and cleaned up some old puppet friends for him. My son was the only boy who entered the talent show at his school and he won the second place. I was so proud of him.
