0:00 Little Fox.

0:04 Once upon a time, there lived three little pigs.

0:08 Their names were Curly, Chunky, and Pinky.

0:12 One day, they decided to see the world.

0:16 Bye-bye, boys.

0:17 Take care.

0:20 Bye, Mama.

0:26 Well, I'm going this direction.

0:29 I'm going that way.

0:32 I think I'll head over there.

0:35 The three pigs went in different directions.

0:39 Curly met a goat selling straw.

0:42 I'll build a house of straw.

0:47 So he bought some straw and built his house.

0:51 There.

0:51 What a cozy home.

0:55 Curly relaxed in his new home.

0:57 But there was one problem.

1:00 Knock knock.

1:02 Oh, yoohoo.

1:04 Who's there?

1:06 A friend, Willis the Wolf.

1:08 Now let me in.

1:11 Mama Pig taught her sons never to open the door to strangers.

1:16 Especially strangers with big teeth.

1:20 No.

1:20 No.

1:21 Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.

1:26 Let me in or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down.

1:32 No, you can't come in, you big bully.

1:37 I'm going to huff.

1:39 I'm going to puff and I'm going to blow your house down.

1:45 It wasn't that hard.

1:47 Straw houses fall easily.

1:50 Now, little pig, I'm going to eat you up.

1:54 help.

1:57 Meanwhile, Chunky met a beaver selling sticks.

2:01 I'll build a house with sticks.

2:05 So, he bought some sticks and built his house.

2:10 There, what a pleasant home.

2:13 Chunky looked at his new house with pride.

2:16 But there was one problem.

2:21 Chunky, help.

2:23 Hey, it's a wolf.

2:25 Hurry inside.

2:27 Lock the door.

2:32 Knock knock.

2:33 Let me in.

2:36 No, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.

2:41 Let me in or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down.

2:47 You can't come in.

2:50 I'm going to huff.

2:51 I'm going to puff and I'm going to blow your house down.

2:56 It wasn't that hard.

2:58 Stick houses fall easily.

3:02 Now I'm going to eat you up.

3:06 Help.

3:09 Meanwhile, Pinky met a horse selling bricks.

3:14 I'll build my house with bricks.

3:18 So he bought some bricks and started his house.

3:22 This will be a strong home.

3:25 Pinky took his time to build a brick house.

3:29 My house is almost finished.

3:32 I'll put one more brick on the chimney.

3:36 But there was one problem.

3:40 Pinky, help.

3:42 A wolf is chasing us.

3:46 Get inside quick and lock the door.

3:50 Well, what do we have here?

3:53 That pig is trapped on the roof.

3:56 There's no place for him to run.

3:59 Hello, little pig.

4:01 It's that bully, the wolf.

4:04 What will I do?

4:05 I know.

4:08 Pinky climbed into his chimney and slid down.

4:11 In the house, Curly and Chunky were scared.

4:16 The wolf is chasing us.

4:18 He's going to eat us up.

4:22 I have an idea.

4:23 Fill that pot with water.

4:26 Pinky built a hot fire.

4:28 Then the three little pigs put the pot on the fire.

4:33 Knock knock.

4:35 Let me in.

4:37 No, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.

4:42 I blew down a straw house.

4:44 I blew down a stick house.

4:47 I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down, too.

4:52 Go ahead and try.

4:55 I'm going to huff.

4:56 I'm going to puff and I'm going to blow your house down.

5:04 I'm waiting.

5:06 I said I'm going to blow your house down.

5:12 Brick houses don't fall so easily.

5:15 It doesn't matter.

5:16 I can be as clever as the pig.

5:19 Oh no, he's climbing up the house.

5:22 He's climbing onto the roof.

5:26 Let's see.

5:27 The water is boiling nice and hot.

5:31 I'll slide down the chimney just like that pig.

5:35 Willis licked his lips and hopped down the chimney.

5:39 But there was just one problem.

5:42 When Willis fell in, Pinky covered the pot.

5:48 Let me out.

5:50 I'll let you out if you promise to leave us alone.

5:54 I promise.

5:56 Willis left town and never came back.

6:00 We won't see him again.

6:03 Well, it's time to build another house.

6:07 Let's get started.

6:09 Pinky helped his brothers.

6:12 When Mama Pig came, they all had new, strong brick homes.

6:17 What beautiful homes, boys.

6:20 I'm glad you built your houses of brick.

6:24 You never know what might happen.

6:26 And the three little pigs smiled.

6:29 The end.

6:32 Once upon a time, there lived a very sweet girl.

6:38 She always wore a red cape with a hood.

6:42 So, everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood.

6:47 What a beautiful day it is.

6:50 Hello, birdie.

6:52 Good morning, Mr.

6:54 Squirrel.

6:56 One day, Little Red Riding Hood's mother had some bad news.

7:02 Your grandma is sick.

7:04 I made her some food, but I can't take it to her.

7:09 Poor grandma.

7:11 I'll take it, mother.

7:14 What a good girl you are.

7:17 Here's the food.

7:19 Be careful going through the forest.

7:23 I will.

7:24 Goodbye, mother.

7:27 Grandma lived on the other side of the forest.

7:32 So, Little Red Riding Hood took the basket and left for Grandma's.

7:38 In the forest lived a big, bad, and very hungry wolf.

7:44 There's nothing to eat in this forest.

7:48 I'm sick of squirrels.

7:51 The rabbits taste rotten.

7:54 I want something new and yummy.

7:58 Just then, Little Red Riding Hood walked by.

8:03 She stopped when she saw the wolf.

8:07 Oh, hello, Mr.

8:08 Wolf.

8:10 Now, she looks very tasty.

8:13 Good day, little girl.

8:15 Where are you going?

8:17 To my grandma's house.

8:20 She's very sick.

8:23 Talking to strangers, especially hungry ones, is dangerous.

8:28 But Little Red Riding Hood did not know that.

8:33 That's too bad.

8:35 Where does your grandma live?

8:37 Maybe I can visit her, too.

8:41 She lives on the other side of the forest.

8:45 It's very easy to find.

8:48 Hurry along, then.

8:50 You mustn't keep Grandma waiting.

8:53 So Little Red Riding Hood continued on her way.

8:57 The wolf watched her go.

9:00 He had a plan.

9:02 I'll run to her grandma's house and wait.

9:06 Then when she comes, the wolf ran through the forest to grandma's house.

9:13 Hello, anybody home?

9:17 There was no answer.

9:19 The house looked empty.

9:22 Where could grandma be?

9:25 Just then, the wolf heard Little Red Riding Hood coming up to the house.

9:31 So, the wolf put on Grandma's shawl.

9:34 Then, he jumped into the bed.

9:38 Knock knock.

9:40 Who's there?

9:42 It's Little Red Riding Hood.

9:44 Grandma, I brought some food for you.

9:48 Oh, how lovely.

9:51 Come in shy, dear.

9:57 Grandma, what's wrong with your voice?

9:59 It's this terrible cold.

10:05 Grandma, what big arms you have.

10:08 All the better to hug you with, my dear.

10:15 Grandma, what big ears you have.

10:17 All the better to hear you with, my dear

10:25 grandma.

10:23 What big eyes you have.

10:28 All the better to see you with, my dear.

10:35 Grandma, what big teeth you have.

10:38 All the better to eat you with, my dear.

10:42 Poor Little Red Riding Hood.

10:45 Ah!

10:46 Help!

10:47 Help!

10:49 There's no one to help you.

10:52 You're mine now." The wolf caught her with his big arms.

10:57 He opened his mouth.

10:59 He was about to bite her with his big sharp teeth when

11:05 What's going on?

11:07 I'm going to eat up your granddaughter.

11:10 Yum.

11:12 Well, I was just about to make some soup.

11:18 Let me put some vegetables in.

11:21 Then you can put her in, too.

11:24 Grandma,

11:26 don't worry.

11:28 Grandma wasn't really going to let the wolf eat Little Red Riding Hood.

11:33 Grandma had a plan, too.

11:36 Hurry up.

11:37 I'm starving.

11:39 Hold your horses.

11:41 I'm almost done.

11:44 The vegetables Grandma put in the pot were hot chili peppers.

11:49 She stirred the soup with a big wooden spoon.

11:57 Taste this, Mr.

11:58 Wolf.

12:01 It's burning my mouth.

12:04 Oh no.

12:05 Here, eat this.

12:07 You'll feel better.

12:10 Ow!

12:11 My mouth is on fire.

12:13 Ow!

12:15 Oh dear!

12:17 Have some water!

12:20 Ah!

12:21 Help!

12:21 Get me out of here!

12:24 With his mouth, tongue, and throat on fire,

12:28 the wolf ran out of Grandma's house as fast as he could.

12:34 They never saw him again.

12:37 Now, Little Red Riding Hood, did you learn your lesson?

12:44 Yes, Grandma.

12:45 I'll never speak to strangers again.

12:49 And I'll never eat Grandma's soup.

12:54 The end.

12:57 Once upon a time, there was a girl named Goldilocks.

13:02 Goldilocks loved walking in the woods.

13:06 But sometimes she was not kind to the animals who lived there.

13:13 She chased the birds and mice.

13:18 She splashed the turtles and fish.

13:24 She hid the squirrels acorns.

13:33 One day, Goldilocks was in the woods when she spotted a house.

13:39 Goldilocks did not know that the house belonged to three bears.

13:44 She opened the door and went inside.

13:49 On the table were three bowls of porridge.

13:54 "I'm hungry," Goldilocks thought.

13:58 She tasted the porridge in the biggest bowl.

14:03 Too hot.

14:06 Next, she tried the porridge in the medium bowl.

14:12 Too cold.

14:15 Then she tasted the porridge in the littlest bowl.

14:21 Just right.

14:24 After eating, Goldilocks went into the living room.

14:29 I'll take a rest, she thought.

14:32 She sat in the biggest chair.

14:36 This chair is too hard.

14:40 She tried the next chair,

14:43 too soft.

14:46 The smallest chair looked just right.

14:50 But when Goldilock sat in it, crash.

14:54 The chair broke.

14:57 Goldilocks sighed.

15:02 "I'll just look for a bed," she thought.

15:05 Upstairs, Goldilocks found three beds.

15:10 The first one was too high.

15:18 The second one was too low.

15:24 The third one was "Just right," Goldilock said happily.

15:33 She climbed into the bed and pulled up the covers.

15:38 Soon she was fast asleep.

15:42 The three bears were on their way home from the stream.

15:48 That was a nice morning walk, Mama Bear said.

15:53 Now it's time for breakfast.

15:56 Papa Bear rubbed his belly.

15:59 I'm hungry.

16:02 Me, too.

16:04 Baby Bear said,

16:06 "I love porridge." But when they arrived home, Mama gasped.

16:15 Someone tasted my porridge.

16:19 Papa growled.

16:23 SOMEONE TASTED MY PORRIDGE, TOO.

16:27 WELL, someone tasted my porridge and ate it all up, baby said.

16:35 Mama pointed to their chairs.

16:38 Someone sat in our chairs.

16:42 Look, baby sniffed.

16:46 My chair is broken.

16:50 The three bears hurried upstairs.

16:58 "SOMEBODY WAS SLEEPING IN MY BED," PAPA SAID.

17:04 "Somebody was sleeping in my bed." Mama said,

17:10 "Somebody is sleeping in my bed."

17:13 Baby cried.

17:19 Baby Bear's scream woke up Goldilocks.

17:26 "Oh no!"

17:27 she cried.

17:30 "Bears!" Goldilocks hopped out of bed and raced downstairs.

17:35 She ran through the woods as fast as she could.

17:39 At last, she was home.

17:45 After that, Goldilocks still loved walking in the woods,

17:50 but now she was always kind to the animals.

18:08 One day, a husband and wife decided to make a gingerbread cookie.

18:13 They cut the dough and baked it.

18:18 When it was ready, they decorated its face with candy.

18:23 There, the woman smiled.

18:26 He almost looks real.

18:28 Her husband nodded.

18:30 He sure does.

18:32 To their surprise, the cookie suddenly jumped up.

18:36 He ran out the door.

18:39 The couple ran after him.

18:42 Come back.

18:43 The cookie just laughed and ran faster.

18:47 Run, run as fast as you can.

18:49 You can't catch me.

18:50 I'm the gingerbread man.

18:55 Soon, the cookie ran past a dog.

18:57 The dog barked.

18:59 Huh?

19:00 M.

19:01 I'm going to eat you.

19:04 The cookie laughed.

19:07 Run, run as fast as you can.

19:10 You can't catch me.

19:11 I'm the gingerbread man.

19:14 The dog ran after the cookie, but the cookie ran faster.

19:19 Soon, the cookie ran past a child.

19:24 The child said, "I'm going to eat you." The cookie laughed.

19:31 Run, run as fast as you can.

19:33 You can't catch me.

19:34 I'm the gingerbread man.

19:36 The child ran after the cookie, but the cookie ran faster.

19:41 Soon, the cookie ran past a cow.

19:44 The cow mood.

19:50 I'm going to eat you.

19:53 The cookie laughed.

19:55 Huh?

19:56 Run, run as fast as you can.

19:59 You can't catch me on the gingerbread man.

20:05 The cookie ran until he reached a river.

20:11 "Uh-oh," he said.

20:10 "I can't swim." "Do you want to cross the river?" someone asked.

20:17 The cookie spun around.

20:19 A fox stood nearby.

20:22 "Oh, yes," the gingerbread man said.

20:25 Can you help me?

20:28 Sure, the fox said.

20:30 Jump on my tail.

20:32 I'll take you to the other side.

20:35 Great.

20:36 The cookie jumped onto the fox's tail.

20:40 The fox started across the river.

20:43 H, she said, "The water is getting deep.

20:48 Why don't you climb onto my back?" The fox kept swimming.

20:56 "The water is getting even deeper.

20:59 Why don't you climb onto my nose?" "Okay,"

21:04 the cookie said.

21:05 "Thanks for keeping me so safe." "No problem," the fox said.

21:12 Then she gobbled up the cookie in one bite.

21:16 "Snap!" At last, everyone reached the river.

21:23 The gingerbread man is gone," the child said sadly.

21:28 The husband nodded.

21:31 But the wife smiled, "Come home with us.

21:34 We'll make another gingerbread man." So,

21:37 everyone went home with the husband and wife.

21:40 Together, they made another gingerbread man.

21:43 And this one was delicious.

21:50 farmer planted turnup seeds.

21:59 He watered them every day.

22:02 One turnip grew and grew and grew.

22:08 Finally, the enormous turnip was ready to eat.

22:16 Farmer pulled but it didn't move.

22:26 Wife

22:25 called farmer.

22:28 Help me pull this turnip.

22:31 His wife pulled too,

22:41 but the turnip didn't move.

22:44 A boy with a dog came over.

22:48 "My dog and I can help," he said.

22:53 They all pulled.

23:03 But the turnips still didn't move.

23:09 Then a cat came along.

23:12 Everyone pulled together.

23:16 The turnip moved a little.

23:21 Finally, farmer side.

23:26 This turnip is too big.

23:27 I give up.

23:37 I can help,

23:38 said a mouse.

23:41 Everyone laughed.

23:44 "This is an enormous turnip,"

23:47 said Farmer.

23:49 "They're just a little mouse."

23:53 But farmer let mouse help.

23:58 Ready, said Farmer.

24:02 Ready,

24:01 said everyone.

24:03 Together they pulled.

24:09 Suddenly, hop out came the turnip.

24:18 We did it,

24:19 cried mouse.

24:21 We all worked together, said farmer.

24:27 Next year, I'll plant pumpkins.

24:37 Henny Penny was a chicken.

24:39 She was a hungry chicken.

24:42 One day, she was looking for food on the ground.

24:47 Suddenly, a nut fell off of a tree.

24:50 The nut hit Penny on the head.

24:55 "Oh my, the sky is falling.

24:59 I must tell the king," Henny Pennney said.

25:03 She ran by the barn.

25:05 Cocky Locky said, "Kakaoodle." Henny Penny, where are you going?

25:13 Henny Pennney replied,

25:15 "The sky is falling.

25:17 I must tell the king.

25:19 Why don't you come, too?"

25:21 "I will," Cocky Locky said.

25:25 They ran by the lake.

25:28 Ducky Lucky said,

25:30 "Quack, quack, Penny, Penny, and Cocky Lucky, where are you going?"

25:36 They replied,

25:37 "The sky is falling.

25:39 We must tell the king.

25:42 Why don't you come, too?" "I will,"

25:46 Ducky Lucky said.

25:48 They ran by the river.

25:51 Goosey Lucy said, "Honk honk.

25:55 Penny, Penny, Cocky, Locky, and Ducky Lucky, where are you going?

26:03 They replied, "The sky is falling.

26:06 We must tell the king.

26:09 Why don't you come, too?" "I will."

26:13 Goosey Lucy said.

26:16 They ran into the forest.

26:19 Turkey Lurky said,

26:21 "Gobble gobble gobble.

26:22 Annie Penny, Cocky Lucky, Ducky Lucky, and Goosey Lucy.

26:28 Where are you going?" They replied,

26:32 "The sky is falling.

26:34 We must tell the king.

26:37 Why don't you come, too?" "I will,"

26:41 Turkey Lurky said.

26:44 They ran by a cave.

26:47 Foxy Locky saw Henny Penny, Cocky Locky,

26:51 Ducky Lucky, Goosey Lucy, and Turkey Lurky.

26:57 I will invite them into my cave.

27:01 Then I can eat them,

27:03 said Foxy Locky.

27:06 Ah, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Lucy, and Turkey Lurky.

27:13 Where are you going?

27:16 They replied, "THE SKY is falling.

27:20 We must tell the king." Why don't you come too?

27:24 I will, but first rest in my cave, said Foxy.

27:31 Suddenly, a nut fell off of a tree.

27:34 The nut hit Foxy on the head.

27:38 "Oh my, the sky is falling.

27:41 We must tell the king.

27:43 You must come too, she cried.

27:47 But Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Lucy, and Turkey Lurky said,

27:55 "The sky is not falling.

27:57 A nut fell on your head.

28:00 Let's all go home."

28:03 But Foxy Locky kept saying,

28:06 "The sky is falling.

28:08 The sky is falling." Henny Penny, Cocky Locky,

28:13 Ducky Lucky, Goosey Lucy, and Turkey Lurky all laughed.

28:18 Foxy Locky shouted again, "The sky is falling."

28:24 Then she ran away to tell the king.

28:33 In the spring, Little Red Hen was busy.

28:37 She was planning for the winter.

28:39 She decided to plant some wheat.

28:42 Cluck cluck.

28:43 Who will help me plant this wheat?

28:46 She asked.

28:50 Not I.

28:51 I have to rest, said the goat.

28:54 Oink oink.

28:56 Not I.

28:57 I must take a nap, said the pig.

29:01 Okay, I will plant the wheat by myself, said Little Red Hen.

29:08 When the summer came, the wheat began to grow.

29:12 The weeds grew, too.

29:15 Cluck, cluck.

29:17 Who will help me pluck the weeds?

29:20 asked Little Red Hen.

29:23 Ba ba, not I.

29:25 It is too hot outside, said the goat.

29:30 Oink, oink, not I.

29:32 I have to cool off in the mud, said the pig.

29:37 Okay, I will weed the wheat all by myself, said Little Red Hen.

29:44 When the fall came, the wheat was ripe.

29:48 Cluck, cluck, "Who will help me harvest the wheat?" she asked.

29:57 "Ba, not I.

29:57 I am going to a party," said the goat.

30:02 "Oink, oink, not I.

30:04 I am eating lunch, said the pig.

30:08 Okay, I will harvest the wheat all by myself, said Little Red Hen.

30:15 She harvested the wheat.

30:17 Then she took it to the mill and ground it into flour.

30:22 In the winter, there was very little to eat,

30:26 but Little Red Hen had flour to make bread.

30:30 Cluck, cluck.

30:31 Who will help me bake the bread?

30:34 She asked.

30:37 Ba ba, not I.

30:39 I am too tired, said the goat.

30:44 Oink, oink, not I.

30:46 I want to sleep some more,

30:48 said the pig.

30:50 Okay, I will bake the bread by myself, she said.

30:56 When the bread was done, Little Red Hen opened the oven.

31:00 The bread smelled delicious.

31:03 "Cluck, cluck!

31:05 Who wants my bread now?" she asked.

31:11 Ba ba!

31:12 Me!

31:13 Me!

31:13 It smells really good," said the goat.

31:20 "Oink, oink.

31:21 Me, too.

31:22 It looks delicious, said the pig.

31:27 No, you won't.

31:29 Whenever I needed help.

31:32 You did not help me.

31:34 I will eat it all by myself, answered Little Red Hen.

31:40 So the goat and the pig stayed hungry.

31:43 Little Red Hen ate the whole loaf of bread all by herself.

31:52 Many years ago, England was going through hard times.

31:57 Some villages were very poor, but everyone still needed to eat and laugh.

32:06 This is a story about how strangers become friends.

32:11 I say, Stanley, this looks like a good spot.

32:15 Right, Morris, we'll stop here for the evening.

32:19 Shall we start making the soup?

32:22 A fine idea.

32:23 I'll get the water and a stone.

32:27 Morris and Stanley were on their way to London.

32:31 They were traveling on foot.

32:33 Along the way, Morris and Stanley stopped at villages.

32:38 Each time they made stone soup.

32:42 Morris, old pal, here's the water.

32:47 Smells delicious.

32:49 And here's a stone.

32:52 That's a fine one, Stanley.

32:54 Our soup will be very tasty tonight.

32:58 Just then, Mrs.

33:00 Tweedy from the village and her son Wilbert walked by.

33:06 They were returning from the market.

33:08 Good day, madam.

33:11 Good day, gentlemen.

33:13 Would you care to join us for some soup?

33:16 Oh, yes, please.

33:19 Wilbert, we must get home and prepare supper.

33:25 Wilbert, is that your name?

33:27 Yes, sir, it is.

33:30 Why, that boy with the three-legged cat was named Wilbert, too.

33:36 Threelegged cat?

33:37 What happened to its other leg?

33:41 Well, it was born with four legs, of course,

33:44 but then Morris and Stanley told the story of the boy with a three-legged cat.

33:52 Even Wilbert's mother listened.

33:55 Just then, Mr.

33:56 Podger from the village walked by.

33:59 He was carrying a loaf of bread.

34:03 And that's the story.

34:05 Is it true?

34:08 Is what true?

34:09 What's going on here?

34:11 Oh, Mr.

34:12 Podger, please come and meet Morris and Stanley.

34:17 Everyone said hello to each other.

34:21 Morris, is it just me or does Mr.

34:23 Podger remind you of someone?

34:27 H yes, he reminds me of Otus and Oliver, the twin barbers.

34:32 Exactly what I was thinking.

34:35 Twin barbers?

34:37 Where?

34:38 In Windermir, they're quite the barbers, Otus and Oliver, you see.

34:43 Mr.

34:43 Podger sat down and listened to the story of the twin barbers.

34:49 A few minutes later, Miss Mabel from the village walked by.

34:53 She was carrying a bag of potatoes.

34:57 Good day all.

34:59 May I ask what you're doing here?

35:02 Miss Mabel, come and meet Morris and Stanley.

35:06 I say, Miss Mabel, what a splendid coat.

35:10 Why, thank you.

35:12 It looks like the one worn by Queen Francesca of Spain.

35:18 Indeed, we met her in Chester.

35:21 A coat like mine on a queen.

35:24 Do tell all.

35:26 So Morris and Stanley told the story of the Spanish queen.

35:32 Everyone laughed.

35:34 They had a great time talking with the strangers.

35:38 Before long, it was getting dark.

35:42 Thank you for a lovely time.

35:45 I haven't laughed so much in ages.

35:49 Oh, I hope your soup is not ruined.

35:53 Why is there a stone in the soup?

35:57 Because it's stone soup.

36:00 That doesn't sound very tasty.

36:03 It's actually quite good.

36:06 Last night it tasted of turnips and the night before it tasted of peas.

36:13 Now the villagers did not think stone soup could be tasty.

36:18 They looked at each other and wondered.

36:21 Oh yes, this is very tasty.

36:24 What do you think, Stanley?

36:26 Delicious, but I think it needs just a little extra something.

36:32 I have some carrots and onions here.

36:35 Let's put them in the soup.

36:38 I have some potatoes.

36:40 In they go.

36:42 And I've got fresh bread.

36:44 Just the thing to have with soup.

36:47 Stanley and Morris took turns stirring the pot.

36:52 Soon the stone soup turned into a hearty vegetable soup.

36:58 The best I've ever tasted.

37:02 Help yourselves.

37:05 Delicious.

37:06 Which reminds me of another story.

37:09 So Morris told them another funny story.

37:14 Everyone ate and laughed.

37:16 It was a wonderful evening.

37:20 You must come and stay the night at my house.

37:23 Oh, thank you, sir.

37:27 Morris and Stanley left the next morning,

37:31 but the villagers never forgot the two men.

37:35 They often talked about how Morris and Stanley made them laugh,

37:42 and everyone remembered their wonderfully delicious stone soup.

37:48 The people of this town had been strangers, but now they were friends.

37:55 The end.

38:00 Once upon a time, there was an old shoe maker.

38:04 Although he worked hard, he was very poor.

38:08 One cold winter night, he sat at his workbench.

38:12 He began cutting his last piece of leather.

38:15 There was only enough for one pair of shoes.

38:21 Come to bed, dear," his wife said.

38:25 The shoe maker shook his head.

38:28 "If I don't sell these shoes, we'll have no money."

38:33 "You can finish them in the morning," the wife said.

38:37 "Please get some rest." The shoe maker sighed and put down his scissors.

38:46 In the middle of the night, two little elves climbed onto the workbench.

38:51 They wore thin rags for clothes and had no shoes.

38:56 They saw the cut leather and got to work.

39:00 And while they worked, they sang,

39:04 "We are helpful little helping others helps ourselves." The next morning,

39:14 a beautiful pair of shoes sat on the workbench.

39:19 The shoe maker gasped.

39:22 "Who made these shoes?" "What a miracle!" the shoe maker's wife said.

39:29 That day, a rich woman visited the shop.

39:34 She loved the shoes and paid more than the shoe maker had expected.

39:39 He was able to buy enough leather for two pairs of shoes.

39:45 That evening, the shoe maker began cutting the leather.

39:49 He yawned as he cut.

39:52 Dear, there's no need to work through the night, his wife said.

39:58 The shoe maker nodded.

40:01 I'll just finish cutting the leather.

40:05 When the shoe maker was finished, he left the leather on his workbench.

40:12 He yawned again and went to bed.

40:18 Once again, the little elves visited the shop.

40:22 They happily got to work singing, "We are helpful little elves.

40:30 Helping others helps ourselves.

40:36 The next morning, two beautiful pairs of shoes sat finished on the workbench.

40:43 "It happened again," the shoe maker cried.

40:47 "Someone must be trying to help us," his wife said.

40:53 The two pairs of shoes quickly sold.

40:57 Now there was enough money to buy leather for four pairs of shoes.

41:02 For several more days, the pattern repeated.

41:06 Eventually, the shoe maker was no longer poor.

41:11 One evening, not long before Christmas, the shoe maker was cutting leather.

41:17 Our fortunes have changed so quickly, his wife said.

41:22 I wonder who has been helping us.

41:26 Why don't we stay up tonight?

41:28 The shoe maker said.

41:30 we could see who our kind helpers are.

41:34 "What a marvelous idea," his wife said.

41:40 They hid and waited.

41:42 Before long, the elves appeared on the workbench.

41:48 As the elves sang and worked,

41:50 the shoe maker and his wife whispered to each other,

41:53 "Those poor creatures," she said.

41:58 Their clothes are worn out and they have no shoes, the shoe maker said.

42:06 They helped us, so we should help them.

42:12 I have an idea.

42:15 On Christmas Eve, the elves appeared again.

42:19 When they climbed onto the workbench, they gasped.

42:23 There was no leather cut for shoes.

42:26 Instead, there were two sets of fine clothes and two fine pairs of shoes.

42:32 The elves quickly put everything on, singing, "We helped them.

42:38 We did indeed." And they gave us the things we need.

42:46 The shoe maker and his wife watched the elves shuffle away.

42:50 The elves never visited the shop again.

42:54 But the shoe maker and his wife never forgot their kind helpers.

43:10 Once upon a time there was a poor wood cutter.

43:14 He and his wife lived very simply.

43:17 The wood cutter often wished for more money and a better life.

43:22 But his wishes never came true.

43:25 One afternoon, the wood cutter was searching for a tree to cut down.

43:30 All the trees looked too big or too small.

43:34 "I wish I could find a good tree,"

43:36 he said.

43:38 Like magic, he suddenly spotted the perfect one.

43:42 "My wish actually came true." The woodcutter raised his axe.

43:48 Suddenly, a small fairy appeared.

43:52 Stop.

43:53 Please don't chop down my home.

43:56 The wood cutter frowned.

43:58 I need wood to make money, and all the other trees are too big or too small.

44:05 How about this?

44:07 The fairy said.

44:08 If you leave my tree alone, I will grant you three wishes.

44:15 No thanks, the wood cutter said.

44:18 My wishes never come true.

44:21 These wishes will come true, the fairy said.

44:25 But if they don't, you may return and chop down my tree.

44:30 It was getting late, so the wood cutter agreed.

44:34 When he arrived home, he told his wife about the fairy and the wishes.

44:39 My wishes.

44:41 Ridiculous, she said.

44:43 Tomorrow, you will go back and chop down that dumb fair's tree.

44:48 She set a bowl in front of him.

44:51 Here, have supper.

44:52 The woodcutter looked at his bowl and groaned.

44:56 Plain broth again.

44:58 I wish we had some sausages.

45:01 Poof.

45:01 Two plump sausages appeared on the table.

45:05 The wood cutter was amazed.

45:08 My wish came true.

45:10 Indeed, it did.

45:12 His wife laughed.

45:15 But you used up a wish on sausages.

45:18 How silly.

45:20 The wood cutter frowned.

45:22 It's not funny.

45:23 Why, I wish these sausages were stuck in your nose.

45:28 Now it was the wood cutter's turn to laugh.

45:33 The sausages were stuck in his wife's nose.

45:38 Stop laughing, she snapped.

45:41 I wish.

45:42 No, the wood cutter cried.

45:44 Don't.

45:45 There's only one wish left.

45:46 Let's try to get these sausages out of your nose first.

45:50 The wood cutter's wife pulled on a sausage, but it was stuck tightly.

45:55 Let me try.

45:56 The wood cutter slowly pulled on a sausage.

46:00 Ow!

46:01 Stop!

46:01 It hurts.

46:03 The wood cutter let go.

46:05 "Let's put some grease on the sausages.

46:07 Then they'll slide out easily." He spread some butter on the sausages.

46:13 He tried to pull again.

46:15 "Ouch!" his wife cried.

46:18 "It's not working." "What should we do?"

46:22 the wood cutter asked.

46:24 "We still have one wish left," his wife said.

46:28 "And I can't live with sausages in my nose."

46:34 "You're right.

46:35 I wish." The woodcutter took a deep breath.

46:40 The sausages WERE OUT OF MY WIFE'S NOSE.

46:43 The sausages lay on the table again.

46:47 The wood cutter and his wife looked at them sadly.

46:50 "We wasted the wishes," the wood cutter said.

46:54 "At least the sausages are out of my nose," his wife said.

46:59 Then she smiled.

47:01 "And you did wish for sausages with supper." She began to laugh again.

47:11 I'm not eating those.

47:13 They were in your nose.

47:14 The wood cutter laughed, too.

47:21 They were no better off than they had been before.

47:25 But their three ridiculous wishes sure made them laugh.

47:35 Long ago, a boy named Jack lived with his mother.

47:40 They were very poor.

47:42 Jack's mother worked hard, but Jack was lazy.

47:46 He spent his days playing and singing silly songs.

47:51 Sometimes he stared at a castle in the distance.

47:55 "I wonder who lives there,"

47:57 he thought.

48:00 As he grew older, his mother grew impatient.

48:04 You need to find work, she said.

48:09 I will do my best, mother.

48:11 Jack promised.

48:13 Jack was not very bright, but he was kind.

48:19 He soon found work at a mill.

48:25 He worked hard and the miller paid him a silver coin.

48:31 On his way home, Jack crossed a stream and splash.

48:36 He dropped the coin.

48:43 When Jack returned home, his mother moaned, "Oh, you silly boy.

48:49 You must put your pay in your pocket."

48:53 "I will do that," Jack said.

48:59 Next, Jack found work at a bakery.

49:02 The baker paid him with a loaf of bread.

49:06 Jack stuffed the bread into his pocket.

49:13 Mother, I put my pay in my pocket.

49:16 Jack pulled out the bread.

49:18 Crumbs spilled everywhere.

49:22 Oh, you silly boy.

49:24 You must carry your pay on your head.

49:31 Next, Jack worked on a farm.

49:35 His pay was a large jar of milk.

49:38 I must carry this jar on my head,

49:40 Jack thought.

49:42 Jack carefully put the jar on his head.

49:46 But on his way home, it fell off.

49:49 Crash!

49:52 Mother side.

49:56 Oh, you silly boy.

49:57 You must carry your pay on your shoulders.

50:06 Next, Jack worked at the market.

50:08 That's my favorite book.

50:15 You work hard, Jack.

50:17 His boss said,

50:19 "I will pay you with this donkey.

50:23 I must put my pay on my shoulders, Jack thought.

50:28 Jack put the donkey on his shoulders.

50:32 As he walked, he wobbled this way and that way.

50:38 THIS DONKEY IS VERY HEAVY,

50:40 Jack thought.

50:42 I'll sing a silly song that will make the trip easier.

50:48 Doo doo doo doo doo doo.

50:54 The donkey seemed to sing along.

50:57 Jack tried hard not to drop the donkey.

51:00 So he didn't see the king and the princess pass by.

51:05 The princess saw Jack zigzagging.

51:08 She heard the funny song and burst into laughter.

51:13 The king's eyes lit up.

51:16 The princess stopped smiling after her mother died.

51:22 Now she couldn't stop laughing.

51:27 "You!"

51:26 the king yelled to Jack,

51:29 "Come and meet the princess."

51:33 Soon Jack was a regular visitor at the castle.

51:37 He and the princess laughed and sang.

51:49 Later, of course, they got married and lived very happily ever after.

51:57 An Nansi the spider sat in a tall tree watching goat work in his garden.

52:05 Goats melons look delicious, thought Anansi.

52:09 The spider loved fruit, but he was too lazy to grow anything himself.

52:16 When goat left, Anansi dropped into the garden.

52:20 With a thorn, he carved a hole in a melon.

52:24 He crawled inside and began to eat and eat and eat.

52:30 A Nansi rubbed his full belly.

52:34 "Goat will be back soon," he said.

52:37 "I must go."

52:39 He tried to crawl out through the hole, but now he was too fat.

52:45 I'll wait until I'm thin again.

52:48 An Nansi grew bored while he waited.

52:51 When Goat returned, Anansi got an idea.

52:56 He loved to play tricks.

52:58 He could trick Goat.

53:01 Goat picked up the melon.

53:04 "Ow!" Any yelped.

53:07 "Who said that?"

53:08 Goat cried, looking around.

53:11 "Me," replied the melon.

53:15 Goat blinked.

53:16 "Melons can't talk." "Yes, we can." "This is incredible,"

53:23 said Goat.

53:25 "I must show the queen." He hurried toward the palace.

53:31 Rattlesnake saw him.

53:33 "Where are you going?" she called.

53:36 "I'm taking this melon to the queen," replied Goat.

53:40 "It talks."

53:42 "That's silly." Rattlesnake laughed.

53:47 "As silly as" "A kind rattlesnake," said the melon.

53:53 Rattlesnake scowlled.

53:55 "Who said that?

53:59 I told you this melon talks

54:02 said goat.

54:03 Amazing said rattlesnake.

54:06 I will go with you.

54:09 Goat and rattlesnake headed toward the palace.

54:12 More animals heard the melon talking.

54:15 They followed Goat and Rattlesnake to the palace.

54:20 Goat bowed.

54:22 Your majesty, we brought you a melon.

54:26 The queen frowned.

54:27 I already have plenty of melons.

54:31 This melon is unique, explained goat proudly.

54:35 It can talk, the queen stepped closer.

54:40 Speak, melon, she ordered, but the melon stayed quiet.

54:47 Melon, I order you to speak.

54:51 Still, the melon was silent.

54:54 What a silly melon.

54:56 The queen snapped.

55:00 "Silly!"

55:00 echoed the melon.

55:02 "You're the one who's talking to a melon." The queen's face turned bright red.

55:08 She picked up the melon and flung it with all her might.

55:13 The melon hit a tree in Goat's garden and shattered into pieces.

55:19 A Nansi crawled out of the melon.

55:22 "I'm thin again," he said happily.

55:26 I'm hungry, too.

55:27 He scured up a nearby banana tree.

55:31 Goat returned to his garden.

55:34 The melons.

55:35 I'm never listening to you again.

55:39 Good idea, called a banana.

55:42 Talking melons always bring trouble.

55:51 A long time ago in China, there lived two brothers.

55:55 One brother was named Tiki Tiki Tumbbo Haricari Bushki

56:01 Pom Pomino and the other one was named Ching.

56:07 Mother and father loved both their sons but they

56:10 loved tiki tiki tumbbo nobo harikaribushki poino more.

56:18 One day the two brothers were playing near a well.

56:22 Suddenly Ching fell into the well.

56:27 Tiki ticky tumbbo no sarbo harki pom pom mino ran to tell his mother.

56:35 Hurry Ching has fallen into the well.

56:38 What shall we do?

56:40 He cried.

56:41 What?

56:42 Ching has fallen into the well.

56:44 Run and tell father.

56:46 shouted mother.

56:50 They ran together to father.

56:52 Hurry, hurry.

56:53 Ching has fallen into the well.

56:56 What shall we do?

56:57 They cried.

56:59 What?

57:00 Ching has fallen into the well.

57:02 Run and tell the gardener, shouted father.

57:07 They ran together to the gardener.

57:10 Hurry.

57:11 Ching has fallen into the well.

57:13 What shall we do?

57:15 They cried.

57:17 What?

57:17 Ching has fallen into the well.

57:19 shouted the gardener.

57:21 So he got his ladder.

57:24 Tiki ticky tumbbo.

57:26 No sabo harbushki pom pom mino.

57:30 His parents and the gardener ran to the well.

57:34 The gardener put his ladder down the well.

57:37 Ching was wet and cold, but he was happy to be alive.

57:44 Sometime later, the two brothers were playing near the well again.

57:48 This time, Tiki Tiki Tumbbo, no sa rainbow,

57:52 haribushki, pom pom, mino fell into the well.

57:57 Ching looked here and there for his brother.

58:00 Suddenly, Ching heard his brother's voice.

58:05 Help.

58:07 Ching ran to tell his mother.

58:09 Hurry.

58:10 Ticky ticky tbo.

58:11 No sarbo.

58:12 Hari karibushki.

58:13 Pom pom mino has fallen into the well.

58:17 What shall we do?

58:18 He cried.

58:20 What?

58:28 Run and tell father shouted mother.

58:34 They ran together to father.

58:47 They cried.

59:24 shouted the gardener.

59:25 So he got his ladder.

59:28 Ching his parents and the gardener ran to the well

59:32 as fast as they could but it was too late.

59:36 If tiki tiki tumbbo no sa rainbow harik kari bushki pomp pom

59:41 mino's name was short like ching then he would not have drowned

59:49 from that time on the Chinese learned an important lesson never give

59:53 your children such long names that is why the Chinese have short names day.

1:00:08 One day, Ali went to a dinner party at his friend's house.

1:00:14 There were four guests, including Ali.

1:00:19 Two of them were merchants, and the third was a government official.

1:00:28 Ali did not know the merchants, but he recognized the government official.

1:00:35 People said that this man was dishonest and a thief.

1:00:42 But Ali was wise and did not believe everything he heard.

1:00:49 The men were hungry.

1:00:56 As they waited for dinner, they chatted pleasantly.

1:01:03 Ali's friend served many delicious things to eat.

1:01:07 There was soup, rice, meats, and many kinds of fruit.

1:01:16 But when it was time to eat, Ali's friend excused himself.

1:01:25 I am sorry, said the host, but my son was in a terrible accident.

1:01:31 I must go to him, so I cannot eat with you.

1:01:36 Please enjoy yourselves and eat freely.

1:01:38 I only ask that you pray for my son." The host left with those words.

1:01:48 Before they ate, the guests all prayed to Allah.

1:01:52 The government official sat next to Ali.

1:01:57 He was eating very fast.

1:02:02 He was stuffing his mouth and his pockets with food.

1:02:06 He filled his pockets with everything he could reach.

1:02:11 The two merchants stared at the government official.

1:02:16 They were shocked by his behavior.

1:02:19 They were strangers to this town.

1:02:22 So they did not say anything to the rude official.

1:02:28 Ali quietly picked up a teapot.

1:02:33 He poured tea into the man's pocket.

1:02:38 The man started shouting at Ellie.

1:02:43 "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

1:02:44 ARE YOU CRAZY?" he said angrily.

1:02:49 "Excuse me?" answered Ali.

1:02:53 I saw that your pockets were hungry.

1:02:55 I thought they might be thirsty, too.

1:02:59 The government official was embarrassed and said nothing more.

1:03:10 Long, long ago, a Mole couple's daughter Molly was ready to marry.

1:03:16 In the Mole village, Mohler was the best available bridegroom.

1:03:21 However, Father Mole and Mother Mole were not satisfied with him.

1:03:27 "Isn't there a better bridegroom?" asked Molly's mother.

1:03:32 "Our Molly must marry the greatest bridegroom,"

1:03:35 said her father.

1:03:37 Father Mole and Mother Mole discussed the matter.

1:03:42 "Who do you think is the greatest of all?" Father wondered aloud.

1:03:47 I think the sun is the greatest.

1:03:50 Mother answered.

1:03:52 Father Mole went to the sun.

1:03:56 Gosh, it's so hot.

1:03:58 Son, are you the greatest of all?

1:04:01 He asked.

1:04:03 No, I'm not.

1:04:04 When the cloud comes and covers me, I can't even show my face.

1:04:09 The cloud is the greatest, the sun replied.

1:04:13 Oh, I see.

1:04:14 Thank you.

1:04:17 Father Mole went to see the cloud.

1:04:20 Oh my, it's so dark.

1:04:22 Cloud, are you the greatest of all?

1:04:25 He asked.

1:04:27 No, I'm not.

1:04:28 When the wind comes, I'm blown away in seconds.

1:04:31 The wind is the greatest,

1:04:33 replied the cloud.

1:04:35 Oh, I see.

1:04:36 Thank you.

1:04:38 Father Mole went to see the wind.

1:04:41 Oh my, I'm about to be blown away.

1:04:44 Wind, you are the greatest of all, right?

1:04:48 He asked hopefully.

1:04:51 No, I'm not.

1:04:52 There is someone who doesn't blow away even when I blow my hardest,

1:04:57 said the wind.

1:04:59 Is that true?

1:05:00 asked Father Mole.

1:05:01 Mr.

1:05:02 Mole, if you are looking for the greatest, go to the Buddha statue,

1:05:07 advised the wind.

1:05:09 Though Father Mole was tired, he went to see the Buddha statue.

1:05:15 "Finally, I found it." "But Buddha statue?

1:05:18 You are the greatest in the world, right?" Father Mole asked,

1:05:23 "No, I'm not." "If a mole dug a hole under my feet,

1:05:28 I could not stand for even a minute." The Buddha statue answered,

1:05:34 "Do you think the mole is the best bridegroom in the world?" asked Father Mole.

1:05:42 Definitely.

1:05:42 The Buddha statue answered with laughter.

1:05:48 Father Mole then went back to the Mole village.

1:05:52 Honey, I found someone who is the greatest, he declared to his wife.

1:05:58 Oh, really?

1:05:59 Mother replied.

1:06:02 Father Mole explained.

1:06:04 The son said the cloud is the greatest.

1:06:07 The cloud said, "The wind is the greatest." The wind said,

1:06:10 "The Buddha statue is the greatest." And then

1:06:13 I found out who is the greatest of all.

1:06:17 "Who is that?" Mother Mole asked.

1:06:21 "It is one of us, the Moles." "Well, then we must choose the best bridegroom

1:06:27 from among the greatest moles," Mother replied.

1:06:32 As a result, Father Mole and Mother Mole met with Mhler.

1:06:37 Soon, Molly and Mhler were married.

1:06:41 Couldn't the greatest in the world be right next to you?
