MNO Songs, Stories, Fables. The Alphabet Series CD.

Abstract

This disc has two fables, besides its songs and stories, with a steady background of classical music. They are Tracks 22 and 23. The first features a male narrator with a non-native English accent. MSA (2:37) has the male narrator imitating various voices along the way. In this version the bridge breaks and the two humans get wet, though the donkey seems to have got away before the bridge broke. I find that version difficult. "You cannot please everyone all the time. Do you best every day and you will please at least one person a day." "Moving Day For The Larks" (2:02) features a female narrator doing chick voices besides her own. The lark family has mother, father, and three little ones. One moment after they move, the farmer comes through with a scythe. "If you want something to get done, sometimes the only way it will get done is if you do it yourself."
