Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome Toreo Eisharm's story. Are As a Reminder
0:06
is a reading service intended for people who are blind
0:11
or have other disabilities that make it difficult to read
0:13
printed material. Today we will be reading various books of
0:19
Martin Luther King Jr. Your reader is Diane. Our first
0:23
book is titled Martin Luther King Junior, A Peaceful Leader,
0:28
and it was published by Harper and Imprint of Harper
0:31
Collins Publishers. It has a copyright year of twenty eighteen
0:40
and the author of the book is Sarah Alby. Martin
0:44
Luther King, Junior was born in nineteen twenty nine. He
0:48
and his family lived in a pretty yellow house in Atlanta, Georgia.
0:51
His father was a minister. There were lots of books
0:54
at home. Young Martin was a happy child, but as
0:57
he grew older, he realized that black people and white
1:00
people were not treated the same way.
1:03
Speaker 2: Once Martin's father.
1:04
Speaker 1: Took him to buy new shoes, the white salesman asked
1:07
them to.
1:08
Speaker 2: Move to the back of the store. They left.
1:11
Speaker 1: Another time, Martin accidentally stepped on a white lady's toe.
1:15
She slapped him and called him a bad name. He
1:18
did not react with anger. He believed that bravery meant
1:21
peacefully standing your grounds at how Martin learned to listen,
1:28
ask questions, and speak up. He finished high school in
1:32
just two years. He went to college at age fifteen.
1:35
Then he continued his studies. Should he be a lawyer,
1:39
a doctor, perhaps a professor? Martin chose to become a
1:43
minister like his father and grandfather. Here in his PhD
1:47
and became doctor Martin Luther King, Junior. In the United
1:50
States in the nineteen fifties, black people and white people
1:53
were still not treated as equals. Separating black people and
1:57
white people was known as segregation. In some states, there
2:00
were separate and not as nice bathrooms, playgrounds, and.
2:04
Speaker 2: Schools for black people.
2:06
Speaker 1: Black people had to give up their bus seats for
2:08
white passengers. Doctor Keen and his new wife, Coretta, moved
2:13
to Montgomery, Alabama. He had a job as a pastor
2:16
at a church. His words were powerful. He was a
2:19
natural leader. He joined the civil rights movement. Other black
2:23
leaders were impressed by the young preacher. They thought he
2:27
would be a good person to help lead their cause.
2:30
Then a moment came when doctor King felt he could
2:33
make a difference. A woman named Rosa Parks refused to
2:37
give up a seat on a bus. She was arrested.
2:40
This was in nineteen fifty five. It happened in Montgomery.
2:44
Doctor Keen other civil rights leaders organized a protest. Doctor
2:49
Keen urged black people to stop riding the city's buses
2:53
for three hundred and eighty one days. Most black people
2:56
stopped riding buses to work. They walked and carpool Doctor
3:01
King walked with them. The protests worked. The Supreme Court
3:05
ruled that busses and Montgomery would no longer be segregated.
3:09
Doctor King helped change the law. He had changed itIt peacefully.
3:14
Under Doctor King's leadership, the civil rights movement grew. Black
3:18
people bravely sat down in white's only restaurants, Black children
3:23
bravely attending white only schools. Black people and white people
3:27
marched together. They kept protesting unfair laws, and they did
3:31
it peacefully. Some people were afraid of what would happen
3:35
if laws were changed. Some were so angry they shouted,
3:39
set fires and beat protesters. Once a bomb went off
3:43
on doctor King's porch. Doctor Keen and other leaders were
3:46
arrested many times. Doctor King showed everyone how to stand
3:50
up for what is right. Peaceful protests took courage. In
3:54
nineteen sixty three, thousands of people marched in Washington, d
3:58
c Doctor King and gave a powerful speech. The world
4:02
watched him on TV. In nineteen sixty four, Doctor King
4:06
won the Nobel Peace Prize, a reward for his work
4:09
to create fairness without violence. Then one day in nineteen
4:13
sixty eight, a white man shot Doctor King. Doctor King died.
4:17
The next day, millions mourned him. Doctor King had known
4:23
he might not live to see liberty and justice for all,
4:26
but he believed there were things worth dying for. Doctor
4:29
King's courage and his love, his ability to lead and
4:33
to be heard, would live on. In a short lifetime,
4:36
Doctor King changed the way people saw one another. Our
4:42
next book is titled Who Was Martin Luther King Junior.
4:46
It was published by Penguin Workshop and imprint of Penguin
4:49
Random House. It has a copyright year of two thousand
4:53
and eight and the author of the book is Bonnie Badder.
4:59
Who was Martin Lee Luther King Junior. Growing up in
5:02
the South was not easy for Martin Luther King Junior.
5:05
He was born in nineteen twenty nine, when black people
5:07
were treated very differently, than white people. One day, Martin's
5:11
father took his young son to buy a pair of shoes.
5:14
Speaker 2: The store was empty, but the.
5:16
Speaker 1: White shopkeeper told them that they would have to wait
5:19
in the back of the store. Martin's father got very angry.
5:23
Why did they have to sit in the back of
5:25
the store. If he couldn't buy shoes for a son
5:27
in the front of the store, he would not buy
5:29
them at all. He took Martin by the hand and
5:31
let him out of the store. As they walked down
5:34
the street, his father said, I don't care how long
5:37
I have to live with this system. I will never
5:40
accept it. The system in the South kept black people
5:43
apart from white people. It was called segregation. Black children
5:48
and white children went to separate schools. Black people had
5:51
to ride at the back of the bus. As he
5:54
grew up, Martin decided to fight for change, but it
5:57
was a peaceful fight. Martin led arches. He banded people
6:03
together in protest. He made speeches. Many people listened to
6:07
his words and joined his non violent fight. Martin Luther
6:10
King Junior fought using his words, not his fist. Martin
6:14
Luther King Junior had a dream, a dream that all
6:17
people could live together in peace and be treated equally.
6:21
And though he died over forty years ago, his dream lives.
6:25
Speaker 2: On chapter one. A Perfect Boy.
6:29
Speaker 1: On January fifteenth, nineteen twenty nine, a baby boy was
6:32
born in the city of Atlanta, Georgia. The doctor city
6:36
was perfect. His parents were so happy they named him Michael,
6:40
the same name that his father had. But when little
6:43
Michael was five, his father decided to change both of
6:46
their names to Martin. So now the little boy became
6:50
Martin Luther King Junior. Now Martin had a very happy
6:53
home life and an older sister named Willie Christine. Everyone
6:57
called her Chris. He also had a younger brother named
7:00
Alfred Daniel. The Kings lived in a large house on
7:03
Auburn Avenue in Atlanta. Their neighborhood was comfortable. No one
7:07
was very poor or very rich. There was a lot
7:11
of love in Martin's family. Martin never remembered his parents arguing.
7:15
Martin's mother, Alberta Williams King, was very soft spoken and
7:20
easy going. Her father was a well known minister. After
7:23
high school, she went to college, which was something that
7:26
not many black women did back then. Alberta had a
7:30
warm personality and Martin always found it very easy to
7:34
talk to her. Martin's father, Martin Singor, was a large
7:38
man in many ways. He weighed about two hundred and
7:40
twenty pounds and was filled with self confidence. Martin junior
7:44
admired his father very much. His father's family was very
7:48
poor and lived in a rundown shock. They were sharecroppers.
7:52
A sharecropper is a farmer who does not own his
7:55
own land and stead. He works on another farmer's land
7:58
and gets some of the cross for himself. Martin's father
8:02
worked hard to get his high school and college to plomas.
8:05
After college, he became a minister of the Ebenezer Baptist
8:09
Church in Atlanta. The Ebenezer Baptist Church was like a
8:13
second home to Martin. He sang in the church choir.
8:16
He went to Sunday School and made many friends. Was
8:20
there that Martin learned to get along with all kinds
8:22
of people, kids as well as teachers. One of Martin's
8:27
good friends was white. The boys had known each other
8:31
since they were three years old. The boy didn't live
8:33
near Martin, but his father owned a store across the
8:36
street from the King home. Martin and the boy were
8:38
always together, but when they turned six, they started school.
8:42
Martin went to school for black children, the boy went
8:45
to school for white children. One day, the boy's father
8:48
told his son that he could no longer play with Martin.
8:51
Martin ran home and cried to his mother was the
8:54
end of the friendship. That night, at dinner, the family
8:58
had a long talk. This was the first time and
9:00
Martin realized how many white people felt about black people.
9:03
Even so, his parents told Martin not to hate white people.
9:07
It was his duty as a Christian to love everyone.
9:11
Martin's mother told him that he should always keep a
9:14
sense of some bodiness, that he was important, even though
9:17
the outside world was telling him he was not. As
9:21
Martin Luther King Junior grew up, he became more and
9:24
more aware of the problems facing black people, especially in
9:28
the South. Everywhere he looked, there was white only signs.
9:32
Blacks could not go into many hotels, restaurants, and stores.
9:36
Blacks could not even drink out of the same water
9:38
fountain as whites. In many cities, Blacks had to ride
9:42
in the back of a bus. They tried to sit
9:44
in the front, they were thrown in jail. And if
9:47
black people wanted to go to a movie, theater, they
9:49
had to sit way up in the balcony. These rules
9:52
were called Jim Crow laws, and they made Martin very angry.
9:59
In high school, Martin had to take a long bus
10:02
ride to and from school. He always walked to the
10:05
back where the other black people sat. Once, Martin and
10:09
a teacher traveled by bus to Dublin, Georgia for a
10:12
speech contest. Martin won the contest and was very proud.
10:16
On the way home to Atlanta, the bus driver ordered
10:19
Martin and his teacher to give up their seats to
10:21
white passengers. When they did not move right away, the
10:24
bus driver became angry. It was the law, after all.
10:28
Speaker 2: They ended up standing in the aisle for the ninety
10:30
mile ride.
10:32
Speaker 1: But Martin told himself, one of these days, I'm going
10:35
to put my body up there where my mind is.
10:39
He knew that one day he would have a seat
10:42
up front. Chapter Two School Days. Martin Luther King Junior
10:48
was always a very good student. He loved to read
10:51
and make speeches. He studied very hard and skip two
10:54
grades at just fifteen years old. He graduated from high school.
10:58
That summer, Martin worked in Bury, Connecticut. Was Martin's first
11:02
time in the North, he had a job in the
11:04
tobacco fields. He was surprised to see how different life
11:07
was for blacks in the North. Black and white children
11:10
went to the same schools. There was no separate restaurants.
11:14
Martin dreamed that this could happen in the South too,
11:17
if only there was some way he could make his
11:19
dream come true. Martin returned to Atlanta to attend more
11:24
More Headhouse College. This was the same college that his
11:28
father had attended. All the students at the school were black,
11:31
all the teachers were black too. At first, Martin wasn't
11:35
sure what he wanted to study. He knew that he
11:38
wanted to spend his life helping black people, but what
11:42
was the best way to do that. Perhaps he would
11:44
follow in his father's footsteps and become a minister, or
11:48
maybe he would become a lawyer. In college, Martin Luther
11:51
King Junior read an essay by a man named Henry
11:54
David Thorow. The essay was rer in eighteen forty nine.
11:59
In this essay, Threw said that people have the right
12:02
to disobey unjust laws. In Threall's time, the United States
12:06
still allowed slavery. Threll wanted to protest slavery. He felt
12:10
the government was wrong to allow it, so he refused
12:13
to pay his taxes. As a result, he was thrown
12:16
in jail. But Threll did not mind being in jail.
12:20
He was making a point. Martin liked the way he thought.
12:23
He also liked that Thorough protested in a peaceful way.
12:26
Two of Martin's favorite college teachers were ministers. Because of them,
12:31
he decided to become a minister.
12:32
Speaker 2: As well.
12:33
Speaker 1: As a minister, Martin could speak out against segregation. He
12:37
could show his people how much he cared. When Martin
12:40
Luther King Junior was only seventeen, he gave a sermon
12:44
and his father's church. He wasn't a minister yet, but
12:47
the sermon was heartfelt and inspiring. His words not only
12:51
touched the members of the congregation, but his father as well.
12:56
The very next year, Martin became a minister and also
12:59
an assistant in his father's church. In nineteen forty eight,
13:03
Martin graduated from college. He was nineteen. Martin's father wanted
13:08
him to stay at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, but Martin
13:12
wanted to continue his education. In September, he entered Krozer
13:17
Theological Seminary a school of religion in Chester, Pennsylvania. Out
13:23
of one hundred students at school, only six were black.
13:27
At Krozer, Martin studied the teachings of people such as Gandhi,
13:33
the first leader of modern day India. Like Thorough, Gandhi
13:37
believed change could come from peaceful protest. In nineteen fifty one,
13:42
Martin graduated from Kroser. He was the top student in
13:46
his class, but he still thought there was more to
13:48
learn about helping people through protests, so he moved to
13:51
Massachusetts to study the Boston University School of Theology. In Boston,
13:57
Martin met Coretta Scott. Kreta had grown up in Alabama,
14:01
but she was in Boston study to be a singer.
14:04
On their first date, Martin drove his green Chevrolet to
14:07
pick her up. Over lunch, they talked about how hard
14:10
it was to be black in the United States. They
14:13
also talked about how people could live together in peace.
14:16
Martin was impressed by Coretta. After only an hour, Martin
14:22
knew that they were going to get married one day,
14:25
and he was right. On June eighteenth, nineteen fifty three,
14:29
they were married at the Scott's home in Marion, Alabama.
14:32
The young couple lived in Boston. Martin had to finish
14:35
his studies at Boston University and Coretta had to complete
14:39
her work to become a music teacher. When he was
14:41
done with school, he became doctor Martin Luther King, Junior.
14:45
Martin was now ready to start his life's work, But
14:49
exactly how would he do that? Chapter three, Martin gets
14:53
a job. Two churches, one in Massachusetts and one in
14:57
New York, wanted Martin to become their minister. While Martin
15:00
was deciding which job to take, another letter came from
15:04
the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. The church,
15:08
which had no minister, invited Martin to come down and preach.
15:11
On a clear winter day in January nineteen fifty four,
15:15
Martin set out to visit the church in Alabama. On
15:18
the drive, he listened to one of his favorite operas
15:21
on the radio. The music in the beautiful countryside made
15:24
the four hour drive pass quickly. During the drive, Martin
15:28
practiced the sermon he was going to deliver the next
15:30
day in Montgomery. By the time he got there, he
15:33
was nervous. He was not afraid to speak in front
15:36
of people at his father's church, Martin stood up before
15:40
crowds and preached. But Martin knew that if his sermon
15:43
tomorrow was good, the job as minister would be his.
15:46
Martin wasn't sure he wanted to live in the South.
15:49
He knew that life in the North was easier for
15:51
blacks and fair. Still, the church of Montgomery sounded like
15:55
a wonderful place, and he wanted to make a good impression.
15:58
Should he show the people that he was smart? Should
16:01
he tell them all about his education? No, Martin knew
16:05
that all he had to do was the same thing
16:07
he had done before in churches, speak from his heart
16:10
and help people pray. Sure enough, martin surmon was so
16:14
good that the people at the Dexter Avenue Church asked
16:17
him to become their pastor. Martin talked with Coretta. She
16:20
too shared Martin's fears. Could she find a good job
16:24
in the South and the north there were more opportunities
16:27
for black women. Martin Coretta also talked about what it
16:30
would be like raising children in the South. In the end,
16:33
Martin Coretta decided to live in Alabama. After all, the
16:37
South was their home, and more importantly, at the Dexter
16:41
Avenue Church, Martin could help fix some of the problems
16:44
of local black people. Chapter four, Riding the Bus. Martin
16:49
started his job as the pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist
16:52
Church on September one, nineteen fifty four. In his sermons,
16:56
he persuaded church members to register to vote. Voting was
16:59
one way to change unjust laws. He also encouraged them
17:03
to join the INN Double ACP, the National Association for
17:07
the Advancement of Colored People then Double ACP is one
17:11
of the oldest civil rights groups in the United States.
17:14
It was formed on February twelfth, nineteen oh nine. Its
17:17
purpose is to help minorities get equal fair treatment when
17:21
they took when they look for a job by a home,
17:25
or applied to school. These are just a few examples
17:28
of civil rights. After living in Montgomery for about a year,
17:32
Coretta gave birth to a little girl, Yolanda Denise. Martin
17:36
called her Yoki for short. Now the Kings were a family.
17:40
Only two weeks after Yolanda was born, something happened that
17:44
changed US history. On December one, nineteen fifty five, a
17:48
forty two old black woman named Rosa Parks got on
17:51
a bus in Montgomery instead of going to the back
17:53
of the bus. She sat down in a seat at
17:56
the front. The bus driver told her to move, but
17:59
wrote Parks refused and she was arrested. Black leaders, including Martin,
18:06
Luther King Junior, meant to discuss Rosa Park's arrest. Martin
18:11
the others came up with a plan. They would not
18:13
ride the city buses to school or to work. This
18:17
kind of protest is called a boycott. The Blacks and
18:20
Montgomery stopped riding the buses, and then the bus company
18:23
would lose money. Perhaps then the guvernment would change the laws. Monday,
18:27
December fifth, nineteen fifty five, was the day the boycott began.
18:32
Since Monday was the start of a new school and
18:34
work week, people would have to take cabs or find
18:37
rides in cars. Some would even have to walk. But
18:40
Martin believed the boycott would send a strong message. If
18:43
black people couldn't sit wherever they wanted, they would refuse
18:47
to take the buses. On Monday morning, Corret and Martin
18:50
woke up early. They peeked out the window to look
18:53
outside at the bus stop. A bus pulled up. It
18:56
was empty. Martin jumped into his car and drove around
18:59
the city. Almost all the black people he saw were
19:03
riding in cars or walking. Later, he learned some had
19:06
to walk more than ten miles to get to where
19:08
they were going. The first day of the boycott was
19:11
a tremendous success, but it needed to continue continue. People
19:17
would have to give up riding in the buses the
19:19
next day and the next day after that. They had
19:21
to continue the boycott until the law changed. White leaders
19:26
of Montgomery Citi government were angry the city buses were
19:29
losing money, but still the leaders did not want to
19:32
change the laws. Instead, they tried making things harder for
19:36
black people. The police commission commissioner told the taxi companies
19:41
to charge higher fares so that it would be too
19:43
expensive for most people to take taxis. They would have
19:47
no choice but to walk. But Martin the other black
19:50
leaders had a plan. They helped organize car pools. Many people,
19:55
both black and white, volunteered to drive people taking part
19:58
in the boycott. It was a good example of peaceful protest.
20:02
Peaceful protests, however, also could be dangerous. Martin was arrested
20:08
by the local police. They said he was speeding in
20:11
his car. Martin knew that he was not. The police
20:14
wanted to scare him into stopping the bus boycott. Then
20:18
a firebomb was thrown onto the porch of his house.
20:21
Martin was frightened for his family, but that did not
20:23
stop him. The boycott lasted over a year. Finally, the
20:27
Supreme Court of the United States said that loss separating
20:31
whites and blacks on Montgomery buses had to end.
20:34
Speaker 2: Martin was overjoyed.
20:36
Speaker 1: Now it was time for people to ride the buses again,
20:39
sitting wherever they wanted. Early in the morning, on December
20:42
twenty first, nineteen fifty six, three other leaders of the boycott.
20:47
Speaker 2: Came to Martin's house.
20:48
Speaker 1: Reporters followed the men as they walked to the nearest
20:52
bus stop. The reporters shouted out questions. Cameras flashed in
20:57
Martin's face. This was a momentous stad. When the bus arrived,
21:01
Martin the other leaders got on, the reporters followed. Martin
21:05
took a seat right up front. On his face was
21:08
a great, big smile. Chapter five A peaceful fight. Integrating
21:15
the buses in Montgomery had worked, but Martin Luther King
21:18
Junior knew that this was just the beginning. Martin other
21:22
black leaders met in Atlanta, Georgia. They formed a civil
21:25
rights group called the Southern Christian Leadership Conference the SCLC.
21:30
On February fourteenth, nineteen fifty seven, Martin became the head
21:34
of the group. In the South, civil rights leaders faced
21:37
growing violence. One man's home was bombed, so were several churches.
21:41
Then a service station and a cab stand were bombed.
21:45
Martin urged everyone to remain calm. We must not return
21:49
violence under any condition. He said he knew that his
21:53
advice was hard to follow. Martin's speeches made him famous
21:57
in Montgomery. Wherever he went of people showed up to
22:01
hear him. People even ran up to him on the
22:04
street to ask for his autograph. On May seventeenth, nineteen
22:07
fifty seven, Martin spoke at a gathering called the Prayer
22:11
Pilgrimage in Washington, d c. The march took place on
22:15
the third anniversary of the passage of Brown versus the
22:18
Board of Education. On the day of the march, thousands
22:22
of black and white people gathered in front of the
22:24
Lincoln Memorial. The speakers asked the government to pass a
22:27
civil rights bill. The bill would guarantee all people in
22:31
the United States equal rights under the law. An important
22:36
part of the civil rights bill would be to make
22:38
sure every adult citizen was allowed to vote at the
22:42
prayer pilgrimage. Martin said that was the most urgent request
22:47
to President Dwight Eisenhower. While Martin was marching and speaking,
22:51
Coretta was busy running the King household. On October twenty third,
22:55
their second child, Martin Luther King the third, was born.
22:59
Martin said, Coretta, I am indebted to my wife, Coretta,
23:03
without whose love, sacrifices, and loyalty, neither life nor work
23:08
would bring fulfillment. By this time, Coreta ones become much
23:12
more involved in the movement. Martin, however, preferred that she
23:15
stay home raising their children. In nineteen fifty nine, Martin
23:20
did agree to take Coretta loan on a trip to India.
23:23
Martin wanted to see the land where his hero Gonde
23:26
had lived. As he traveled through the country, saw that
23:28
India was divided between the very poor and the very rich.
23:32
Many people did not have jobs, many slept out on
23:35
the streets. Rich people, on the other hand, had beautiful
23:38
homes and fancy clothes. Yet even with so much poverty,
23:41
there was peace among the people. Yes, they were poor,
23:45
but they did not make their troubles out. They did
23:47
not take their troubles out on anyone. Martin visited some
23:51
of the places that were special to Gandhi. He and
23:54
his group went to a place called Bambi. It was
23:57
there that Gandhi had started a walk of more than
24:00
two hundred miles to protest a tax on salt. Gandhi's
24:05
walk began with eight people. The number grew to thousands.
24:09
Some say that more than a million people ultimately joined
24:12
the walk. Gondetold is people, if your hit, don't hit back.
24:17
Even if they shoot at you, don't shoot back. Just
24:20
keep moving. Martin had a wonderful experience in India. When
24:24
he returned home, he was even more convinced of the
24:26
power of peaceful protest. In nineteen fifty nine, the King
24:31
family moved from Montgomery to Atlanta. It was hard to
24:33
leave Montgomery, but Martin wanted more time for civil rights work.
24:38
He could not be a full time minister. He told
24:40
his congregation. History is throw something on me which I
24:44
cannot turn away. Atlanta, Martin Luther King Junior would become
24:49
the co pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, his father's church.
24:53
By the year nineteen sixty, the civil rights movement was
24:56
spreading throughout the South. Black students and white students stay
25:00
ins at lunch counters. Students would sit together at a
25:03
white's only lunch counter and wait to be served. Often
25:07
the police would drag them out, but the students never
25:10
fought back when arrested. Sometimes people yelled and spit at
25:13
the students, some threw rocks at them. No matter how
25:16
many students were put in jail the next day, others
25:19
would go sit in at the same lunch counters. They
25:22
kept on because the fight was something they believed in.
25:26
Martin took part in the sit ins. On October nineteenth,
25:29
nineteen sixty, he was arrested a lunch counter in a
25:32
department store in Atlanta, where two hundred students were arrested.
25:36
That same day, they were all taken to the Fulton
25:39
County jail. Martin told the judge that the sit ins
25:42
pointed out racial injustice. He wanted to make people in
25:46
Atlanta see how wrong it was to have whites only
25:48
eating place. He said, I must honestly say that we
25:52
firmly believe the segregation is evil. Five days passed and
25:56
Martin and the students were still in jail. Black people
25:59
in Atlanta were worried. Finally, the store owners dropped the
26:02
charges and everyone was set free. But many white people
26:06
were still angry with Martin. They wanted him back in jail.
26:10
On May fourth, nineteen sixty, the police stopped Martin in
26:13
his car. They gave him a ticket for driving in
26:17
Georgia with an Alabama driver's license. Martin thought it worst,
26:21
he would just pay the fine in court. Instead, Martin
26:24
was taken away, his legs, put in chains, and driven
26:27
to a state prison more than two hundred miles away.
26:30
The right to the prison was long. Martin was hungry.
26:33
He was thirsty, he was scared. This concludes our children's
26:39
story for hour today. Join us next time as we
26:42
will read more stories, fables and fairy tales. Thank you
