Why the Sheep Ran Away 🐑 Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

👋 Hi friends, thank you for joining us again.

"One who leads should do right things ... "

Why the Sheep Ran Away starts with the "wind-storm" that was the worst storm any of the farm animals could remember. The next day the lambs see a strange dog and the Bell-Wether decides to run away. Of course, all the sheep and lambs follow and this leads to a bit of trouble and lots and lots of complaining. How will they find their way home again?

Thank you for listening,
Sheryl & Clark

The Slow Little Mud Turtle 🐢 Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

👋 Hi friends. I just realized that we could have called this week, Turtle Week, because we have another turtle story for you.

In this episode, join the slow little turtle as he grows up by the pond and chases after his brothers and sisters. His mother tells him he needs to be faster and asks his brothers and sisters to be patient with him. By the end he becomes the “quick slow little turtle.”

Thank you for listening,

Raggedy Anne and the Kite 🪁 Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

👋 Hello again friends.

Raggedy Ann had heard all about kites and now she and Marcella were watching as the boys made one. They sent the kite up into the air but it didn't fly very well. The boys said it needed more rags on the tail so Marcella suggested Raggedy Ann be tied on. The boys tied her on and up went the kite higher and higher. Raggedy Ann could see for miles and miles and thought it was wonderful until she heard the first ripping sound. What is going to happen to Raggedy Ann and the kite?

Thank you for listening,

👋 Hi friends.

The Merry Little Breezes are back and trying to find someone to play with. They talk to Peter Rabbit, Jimmy Skunk, Billy Mink, Bumble the Bee and many others but everyone has something to do and cannot play with them. They are sad and disappointed that everyone has something to do and no time to play. One of them finally suggests that since everyone is so busy that they should help them with the things they need to do. The Merry Little Breezes are so happy, they will finally have the chance to say "Busy, Busy, Busy!"
