A programme for children under five
' My daughter is five-and-a-half years old,' writes a mother, ' but she is unable to go to school yet as she has a lot of sickness. As she has to spend so much time indoors and her little friends now go to school you can imagine how much " Listen with Mother " means to her.' One story, 'The Lorry ' by Ruth Simortis, specially intrigued this little girl, for Bill's lorry, like herself, longed to go to the seaside. But the lorry was more fortunate than she; he took matters into his own steering-wheel, and was, she thinks, ' so sensible to take the wrong turnings.' If she is not better and able to go to the seaside this year, she may at least enjoy hearing the tale again, told tomorrow by Julia Lang, who also relates Friday's story, ' Making a Train' by Mary Reinach. Today. and on Wednesday comes Dorothy Smith with ' Those Three Little Kittens ' by S. M. Penberthy, and A Tale of Three Puppies ' by Jane Shaw. Thursday's story, 'The Picnic' by R. H. Bevan, will be told by Daphne Oxenford.
The stories and rhymes are introduced this week and next by Lorna Pegram.

Script by Lesley Wilson

(To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m.)

Mrs. Dale was relieved that the misunderstanding with the Fieldings had been cleared up. Bob came home for the weekend and said Jenny had got The part of Ophelia in the drama school production of ' Hamlet,' because the girl who was playing it had been taken ill. Jenny was very worried because she didn't know her lines. The family and Richard Fulton went to see the play. Jenny was a complete failure and had to be continually prompted. Bob went backstage to see her afterwards, but she had gone. When he went to his car he found Jenny there. She refused to return to the drama school and begged him to take her to Sandbourne with him, which he did. At Sandbourne she found a job as a waitress. When Richard Fulton heard about this he wired her parents. Her father replied to say he was coming to London immediately and was going to take Jenny back to Wales.
