Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
Once upon . a time there were three-mother sheep and their lambs and one day they got a shock because the big wind came and blew them right out of their field. When the farmer saw them he was very cross, but when the mother lambs told him their story he wasn't so cross. But he was cross with the big wind and so was the fairy. She sended him away with her wand and he never came back again.' This story,' wrote the mother of a five-and-a-half-year-old girl, ' I have taken down, without any alteration at all, from my young daughter's dictation. She was telling it to her small brother.' What a pleasant example of the genuine creative effort which the impetus of our programmes may produce!
Today our storyteller is Julia Lang , and the story, ' Roly, Poly, and Pudding ' by Jane Alan. Lorna Pegram will be back to introduce the programme* for the coming two weeks.

Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Basil Dawson
The new E.A.L. branch opened and Mr. Rodgers again tried to persuade Sally that it would ruin her business. Grandfather Dale came up to London for a few days.
Mrs. Mountford called on Dr. Dade, asked him to arrange for her to be shown over the hospital, and intimated that she wished to become his patient again. Sally left for a business trip to Paris; Mr. Fulton visited the shop to see how things were going in her absence and quarrelled with Mrs. Freeman. While he was there a customer arrived and made several purchases for which she paid by cheque. Bob went to work early hoping to see a workmate about a plan for reducing his travelling time; Mrs. Dale wondered whether this meant that he had definitely decided to take a room near the airfield.
