Welcome to Goop Tales. I'm Maria Kalanchini, the founder, writer, and narrator behind these original audio stories.

GoopTales is a storytelling podcast for children, created to ignite your imagination, broaden your horizons, and introduce

you to different cultures and exotic animals, while also sparking important conversations

about character traits.

Now, today's story I'm very excited about, we're going to take a trip to Finland, to a place called

Ancandia. And the story was inspired by Edlin, so I want to thank you, Edelin. She suggested

Tagger and Tagelina, the Tiger twins who love to play tags. Love to play tags. Love to play tag.

So you can listen to what she said about them.

Hi, my name is Edelan, and I have a new goop tale.

It's Tagger and Tagelina. They're twins.

And they have a little stick, hick with a hand on one end so they can tag people and goops when they want to play tag.

They never play anything else because they just want to play tag and sometimes that upsets the other gops.

And they go to the double-decker carousel and they're going to the double goops. And they go to the Double Decker Carousel in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

That's it. Bye.

And then you can go to goptails.com forward slash episode 116, where you can see all of the photos for this location that go with the

story. You're definitely going to want to see these photos because Oncandia is so charming. And it is

an actual park in Finland. And it was originally created in 2009,

I believe, as a movie set for a movie that never got made. Because I think they ran out of money

or something. I'm not sure. But in any case, they turned on Condia into a park.

And it is just so charming.

It is like a fantasy world of little houses in the snow with lights on them and lights in the trees and just an enchanted forest.

And it's really, really fun.
