María y el Panadero Avaro Érase una vez, en un pequeño pueblo, había una humilde joven llamada María y vivía frente a una panadería. Todos en el pueblo le tenían aprecio porque era muy trabajadora y de buen corazón. Para pagar sus alimentos, María limpiaba casas y lavaba ropa ajena. El panadero, vecino de María, horneaba los mejores panes, pasteles y tartas de todo el pueblo. Pero él era un hombre ambicioso y desagradable que rara la vez tenía una palabra amable que ofrecer.

A Little Red Hen lived in a barnyard. She spent almost all of her time walking about the barnyard In her picketty-pecketty fashion, scratching everywhere for worms.

When they were gathered about her, she would distribute choice morsels of her tid-bit.

Buster and the Pickles Buster was always getting into trouble. Sometimes, he had good ideas that went badly. Sometimes he had bad ideas that went well. And sometimes, well, sometimes it was a little bit of both. One day, when Buster was about two years old, he was at the ice cream shop down the street with his parents when he noticed a big jar full of pickles on the countertop. The sign next to it said, “Pickles, one dollar” – he wasn’t worried about that. He couldn’t read it anyway.
