A programme for children under five: nursery rhymes, stories, and music
' More! ' cries a two-year-old, hearing a favourite nursery song issuing from the radio, more corse, mummy '-and in response, it seems, to his demand, 'Ride a Cock Horse ' does indeed come again. But sometimes the loudspeaker does not oblige, and occasionally there are tears, and it is not always easy for mother to be convincing in her explanations of the. inflexibility of the radio medium. One little boy, however, listening to Ethel Heaton 's story, ' Sand Castles,' evolved an explanation of his own. During the story he was saying ' Excuse me ' several times to the radio, and when the programme had finished he said, ' I'm afraid Sandcastle Auntie is rude!
'Sand Castles' is this week's Friday story, and we hope Daphne Oxenford will escape the charge of ill manners, especially as she also tells tomorrow's story ' The Littlest Fish,' by Catherine Morris. Today's storyteller is Dorothy Smith who reads ' Summer Friends,' by Ion Grundy , and on Wednesday and Thursday our listeners may recognise an old favourite when they hear Julia Lang tell Monica Jarrett 's tale of ' The London Express.'

Script by Joan Carr-Jones
To be repeated tomorroto at 11.0 a.m. Last week Dr. and Mrs. Dale were on holiday in Berwick. During the stay there, Dr. Dale hoped to persuade his father to retire. When out walking with Bo'sun, the dog jumped in the Tweed and was carried away by the current. Dr. Dale went in after him, but he had already disappeared. Mrs. Dale was distracted. Next day, while
Grandfather Dale was showing Mrs. Dale the cottage he would live in when he retired, they saw Dr. Dale coming along the road with Bo'sun. Mrs. Briggs went to see Mrs. Freeman to say she had seen the Wedgwood box taken. Mrs. Freeman told Bob. Bob and Peter Kingston decided to ask Bill Donaldson about it. He mistook their meaning, and thought they had discovered from Miss Pink that he was an imposter. Mrs. Mountford, hearing raised voices, came to see what was the matter. Bob told her Bill Donaldson was not her nephew from Australia. Mrs. Mountford ordered him to leave immediately. Miss Marchbanks went to Mrs. Freeman and confessed to taking the Wedgwood box.
