  • On Guard

    A little bit of wildland firefighting, a little bit of morse code, hanging out at an outpost, mix it all up and what have you got? Another great story! Today, we read the story “On Guard” which comes to us from the book “The Boy Scouts of Woodcraft Camp” written by Thornton W. Burgess. In my career I've had to deal with a few brush fires but seeing some of the footage on TV about the wildland fires out in the western United States, that's some crazy stuff! Well, in today's story, we get to see what happens when one of our young Scouts sees a forest fire.

  • Paper Treasure for Mars

    I don't know of too many people who collect stamps. I may have met one person in my whole life but I'm not even sure I can say that. Anyway, I can kind of understand collecting things because I used to collect baseball, football, and X-Men cards. Those cards are still hanging around but I couldn't tell you the last time I bought a pack of sports cards was. Anyway, today, we read a story about two boys taking some collectible stamps to Mars with the story “Paper Treasure for Mars” which comes to us from the book “Young Readers Science Fiction Stories” written by Richard Elam.

  • Mercy Flight to Luna

    Mark your calendars for November 19, 2021 at 4:00 am. Here in the Michigan, that should be the time that the maximum eclipse happens. That's right, eclipse, a lunar eclipse to be exact. Pretty much every night you look up in the sky, you should be able to see the moon floating out there in space which is why I went with today's story. Today, we read the story “Mercy Flight to Luna” from the book “Teenage Super Science Stories” written by Richard Elam. Also, included in the show notes is a link to the webpage where I found the information about the upcoming lunar eclipse.

  • Narrative of The Mutiny of the Bounty

    Sometimes, you just have to purge some books from the house. Myself, I don't tend to reread books after I have read them so usually, I keep buying books until there are full shelves at home and then I have to purge some to make room or more. That's how we got to today's story since one of the books I purged was “Mutiny on the HMS Bounty.” Anyway, today's story is titled “Narrative of The Mutiny of the Bounty” and comes to us from the book “Great Sea Stories,” edited by Joseph Lewis French.

  • The Story of Androcles and the Lion

    Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my! Those were some of the animals that we saw at the zoo the other day when we were there. It was a great day. The weather was beautiful and most of the animals were walking about in their enclosures. I always love going to the zoo. What I also love, is reading stories. Today, we read the story “The Story of Androcles and the Lion” which comes to us from the book, “The Animal Story Book” which was edited by Andrew Lang.

  • The Football Game

    It's the weekend and what do you do in the fall in the United States? If it's Friday night, you head to the high school for football. If it's Saturday, you head to the college for football. If it's Sunday, you go to church, and then watch football. That's a lot of football! Now, maybe you don't like all that football but I know some guys who live and breathe the stuff. Either way, you look at it, football is all around us. In fact, I'm looking at some football memorabilia sitting on my desk right now. Anyway, today, we read the story “The Football Game” which comes to us from the book “For the Honor of the School” written by Ralph Henry Barbour.
