The favourite story of a four-year-old boy is that of 'the boy who sailed the sea and found an island.' 'This rather surprised me,' wrote his mother, 'as I thought it would be too impersonal; but last time it was told he gave a sigh of great contentment and said, "That is a nice story." ' This little boy is not alone in his appreciation of this tale by Diana Ross. for its atmosphere of poetry and romance is something to which our under-fives can respond with a sometimes unsuspected sympathy. They will have a chance to enjoy it again (told by Julia Lang) on Wednesday this week, while today and tomorrow Daphne Oxenford will relate the same writer's often-requested stories of baby's first walks to the farm, stories which, as one mother wrote of her own little girl, 'brought home to her, more forcibly than anything I had thought to say. the nice importance of being the elder child.' ' A Tale of Three Puppies ' by Jane Shaw on Thursday, and ' Patrick's Pansy ' by Joan E. Cass on Friday (both told by Dorothy Smith), complete the week's stories Elizabeth A. Taylor

Last week Ashley Weston was very excited about his audition wuh Barton Kenley, a famous West End producer.
- When Miss Pink saw Mr. Kenley she convinced him that it would be a waste of time to audition Ashley and he lost the job. Mrs. Freeman, concerned about Joe Parsons' laziness, gave him a piece of her mind. This greatly annoyed Zenobia and Sally. The Thompkins' were having trouble in getting the twins to go to sleep at night especially when Tony Lawford, the boy next door, insisted on revving-up his motor-cycle late at night. Dr. and Mrs. Dale, while out walking, saw Thompkins talking to Tony Lawford. Thompkins asked Lawford to be quieter and Lawford struck him. He knocked his head on the iron railings and was taken to hospital. Mr. Fulton heard that he had sold the film rights 'of his book in America and he and Gwen took a bottle of champagne to Sally's shop to celebrate. A customer came into the shop and was most annoyed at being kept waiting. Later Miss Russell told Sally she was taking a partner. When Sally was introduced to the new partner, she found to her astonishment that it was the man who had been kept waiting the day before.
