One day Chicken-Little had gone to sleep under a rose-bush, and a cow reached over the fence and bit off the top of the rose-bush. The noise woke up Chicken-little, and just as she woke a rose-leaf fell on her tail. “Squawk! Squawk!” cried Chicken-little, “the sky is falling!”; and away she ran as fast as her legs would carry her.

WHY DOGS SNIFF The Story of the Dogs' Dinner Party Once upon a time the dogs gave a dinner party. All the dogs were invited and all the dogs accepted the invitation. There were big dogs and little dogs and middle-sized dogs. There were black dogs and white dogs and brown dogs and gray dogs and yellow dogs and spotted dogs.

This story is called The Tortoise and the Hare, a traditional fable by Aesop. This is a LibraryCall adaptation and recording. Back in the days when animals could talk, there was a hare. Now, in case you’re not familiar with hares, you should know that they are long-eared animals that look a lot like rabbits. Hares can run fast, which helps them get away from all the bigger animals that want to eat them up. One day, the hare in our story was bragging about his speed to all the other animals.

"Soy el velocista más rápido del mundo", le dijo a todos los otros animales. “¡Cuando corro, soy igual de rápido como el viento! Nadie puede alcanzarme". Los otros animales rieron una risa fingida. Ya estaban cansados ​​de escuchar los alardes de la liebre. "¿No me creen?", preguntó la liebre.

This story is called The Boy Who Cried Wolf, a traditional fable by Aesop. This is a LibraryCall adaptation and recording. Long ago, there was a shepherd boy who took care of a flock of sheep. The sheep grazed in a meadow near a dark forest, not far from a village. The boy, who was quite an energetic young person, enjoyed his work at first-- herding the sheep to places with greener grass, watching for hungry animals that liked to eat sheep, and ensuring the not-so-bright sheep didn’t eat any poisonous plants.

This is Richard, and I’m here with our latest yarn from our dog who travels in space. But before I hand you over to the capable claws of Astropup, Some of you have been asking us what a “mog” is. You may not be able to find that word in the dictionary, but it is in fact, a “cat.” So I hope that helps. Now, let’s hear from Astropup. It happened when I was on shore leave. I was living at home in blissful comfort with my owner, Jenny. I did not lack for biscuits, blankets or cuddles. One morning, I was chewing on my favourite rubber bone, when I heard a tap-tapping at the French doors.
