Shelly & The Can-Do Kids - TOMAS (delayed gratification)
Episode 4
Friday, 23 May, 2025
Tomas loves to tap. He’s seen some new shoes. He desperately wants them. They sparkle and the thought of wearing them makes his heart skip a beat. The problem is he doesn’t need them, and his parents aren’t going to stump up the money for new tap shoes. He feels angry but determined to make them his. Luckily Shelly understands. There are lots of things she wants too. Can she help Tomas learn the value of saving and working towards your goal? Are want and need the same thing? What exactly is delayed gratification, and does it matter in many areas of our lives? Listen to find out. Highlights include – meeting a group of political worker worms, Shelly going mad telling us everything she wants in the world and tap dancing galore.Let us know what you thinkhello@shellyandthecandokids.com Follow our Instagram to keep up to date on all Shelly and the Can-Do Kids goings on: shellyandthecandokids If you loved today’s story, share it with your friends, neighbours, colleagues and someone who wants everything NOW, but needs to learn to wait!Performed and written by Josie & Jemma @shellyandthecandokidsEdited by @benjamincutsBacking music sourced from the wonderful @artlist.ioShelly artwork @efabm With thanks to and in memory of Chris Stuart who wrote our opening number. *These stories are meant to be light-hearted.
