The Fighting Moose

We try to visit the county fair every year. I mean what's better than a fair corn dog? If you are thinking this story is about corn dogs, I'm sorry to say it is not. It is a story about how “Solomon John Goes for Apples” and is written by Lucretia Hale and comes from the book “The Junior Classics, Volume 6, Old-Fashioned Tales.”

The yearly Port Huron to Mackinac sailboat race is upon us! It is almost at it's 100th running as it was started back in 1925. Well, I couldn't find a sailboat story I liked but I did find a story about a boat from Mr. James Baldwin. So today, we read the story, “The Paddle-Wheel Boat” from the book “Fifty Famous People.”

What is the best thing in the world? I would assume that the answer will be different for everybody. For me, I would say that there are a few things but one thing is, the fact that my wife and I will be married for 13 years this year. Lucky #13. Well, in today's story, you will see what happens when “Johnny Chuck Finds the Best Thing in the World” from the book “Old Mother West Wind” written by Thornton W. Burgess.

History seems to pop up in the strangest of places. For instance, a kids cartoon. We were watching the old cartoon show “Pinky and the Brain” the other night and a character in the episode was Napoleon Bonaparte. So after that show I went in search of a story and found today's story. Today we read the story “The Man Who Spoiled Napoleon's “Destiny”” from the book “The Junior Classics, Volume 7, Stories of Courage and Heroism” and is written by W.H. Fritchett.

Well, we are a few days after Independence Day so I figured we would stick with some Independence Day material. Today, we read two stories from the book “Four Great Americans” written by James Baldwin. The first story is “The Beginning of the War” and the second is “Independence.” Both of these stories deal with our first president, George Washington.

Received a message from a listener the other day. It came about as a result of her child listening to a story from our friend Thornton W. Burgess. In honor of this special occasion, I figured another story from Mr. Burgess was in order. Today, we read the story “Where Big-Horn Got His Curved Horns” from the book “Mother West Wind 'Where' Stories.”
