    A minister always preaches about hellfire and damnation, saying how sinners will burn in hell eternally. One day his wife falls ill and dies, and then she comes back to haunt him, saying she'll be able to go to heaven if the minister can obtain a hair from the head of a sinner who's doomed to hell. The minister travels all over and meets weirdos and creeps, but he believes God will redeem each of them. This is apparently the lesson the minister was meant to learn so that he'll stop preaching those pessimistic sermons. And then he wakes up to see his wife still alive since the whole thing was just a dream. Summary Source Music by John_Kensy_Music on Pixabay Follow along or Read the full story with me.

    A poor girl named Karen is orphaned when her mother dies. A shoemaker takes pity on her and makes her some red shoes, which she loves because they seem so fancy and because (she believes) they get a rich old lady to notice her. The rich old lady takes Karen in and throws away her now ratty red shoes. When it's time for Karen's confirmation in the church, the old lady buys her new shoes, which are also red. This is just a coincidence; the old lady's eyesight is going, so she can't actually tell what color they are. Karen wears the new red shoes to the confirmation, but she's so busy thinking about how pretty she looks in her red shoes that she doesn't pay any attention to what the bishop says. The old lady hears about how Karen was wearing red shoes and scolds her. Apparently, it's improper to wear red shoes to church. Still, Karen wears her red shoes the next time they go to church. Outside the door, an old soldier praises her pretty shoes, calling them dancing shoes. As soon as they leave the church, the old soldier again remarks on her pretty little dancing shoes—and Karen starts dancing uncontrollably. She dances through the woods until she reaches a church. An angel appears to her saying that she will dance until she dies, and she will visit all the houses so that children will be terrified of her fate. But wait! Karen dances until she reaches the house of the executioner, whom she begs to chop off her feet. He does. She repents of her sins, works for a minister, and prays to be able to enter a church again (because every time she tries, the shoes appear and block her way). God sends a vision of the church to her, and she's so happy that she dies and goes to heaven. Summary Source Music by Olexy on pixabay Follow along or Read the full story with me.

    A young girl is sent out by her impoverished parents to sell matches on the last evening of the year. She is barefoot, for she has lost her slippers; one has simply gone missing, and the other is stolen by a boy who says he will use it as a cradle for his own future children. The cold little girl cannot sell any matches. She begins to despair, knowing her father will beat her when she gets home. Of course, in Andersen's time, begging was illegal; the matches are a prop for the girl and for the story. And so she sits, leans against a stone wall, and lights a match against it. What warmth this brings to the girl! Beside her, she sees, there is now a hot stove. Yet when the match flickers out, the stove disappears. Coldness again. The next lit match reveals a table lavishly set — a fat goose waddles toward her with a fork and knife in its breast. The match dies and the goose runs away. A Christmas tree appears as the third match is struck, and the girl reaches to touch a branch with a cold hand, but it vanishes when the match expires. Shivering, she lights yet another match and the tree rises before her once more, now lit with thousands of candles! The tree is so tall it merges with the sky, and then a star falls from the sky and the girl's dead grandmother appears as the only person who ever loved the little match girl. They embrace in a light broader than any we can imagine and rise to a place where there never was hunger or pain. In the morning, the match girl is frozen to death by the wall. In her stiff hands, she holds matches — half of them burned. “She tried to warm herself,” observe some passersby. None of them, we are told, imagine the glory she witnessed with her grandmother on that cold New Year's Day. Summary Source Music by Olexy from Pixabay Follow along or Read the full story with me.

    A Flea, a Grasshopper, and a Leap-frog once wanted to see which could jump highest; and they invited the whole world, and everybody else besides who chose to come to see the festival. Three famous jumpers were they, as everyone would say when they all met together in the room. “I will give my daughter to him who jumps highest,” exclaimed the King; “for it is not so amusing where there is no prize to jump for.” The Flea was the first to step forward. He had exquisite manners, and bowed to the company on all sides; for he had noble blood, and was, moreover, accustomed to the society of man alone; and that makes a great difference. Then came the Grasshopper. He was considerably heavier, but he was well-mannered and wore a green uniform, which he had by right of birth; he said, moreover, that he belonged to a very ancient Egyptian family, and that in the house where he then was, he was thought much of. The fact was, he had been just brought out of the fields and put in a pasteboard house, three stories high, all made of court cards, with the colored side inwards; and doors and windows cut out of the body of the Queen of Hearts. “I sing so well,” said he, “that sixteen native grasshoppers who have chirped from infancy, and yet got no house built of cards to live in, grew thinner than they were before for sheer vexation when they heard me.” It was thus that the Flea and the Grasshopper gave an account of themselves, and though they were quite good enough to marry a Princess. The Leap-frog said nothing; but people gave it as their opinion, that he, therefore, thought the more; and when the housedog snuffed at him with his nose, he confessed the Leap-frog was of good family. The old councilor, who had had three orders given him to make him hold his tongue, asserted that the Leap-frog was a prophet; for that, one could see on his back if there would be a severe or mild winter, and that was what one could not see even on the back of the man who writes the almanac. “I say nothing, it is true,” exclaimed the King; “but I have my own opinion, notwithstanding.” Now the trial was to take place. The Flea jumped so high that nobody could see where he went to; so they all asserted he had not jumped at all, and that was dishonorable. The Grasshopper jumped only half as high; but he leaped into the King's face, who said that was ill-mannered. The Leap-frog stood still for a long time lost in thought; it was believed at last he would not jump at all. “I only hope he is not unwell,” said the house dog; when, pop! he made a jump all on one side into the lap of the Princess, who was sitting on a little golden stool close by. Hereupon the King said, “There is nothing above my daughter; therefore to bound up to her is the highest jump that can be made; but for this, one must possess understanding, and the Leap-frog has shown that he has understanding. He is brave and intellectual.” And so he won the Princess. “It's all the same to me,” said the Flea. “She may have the old Leap-frog, for all I care. I jumped the highest, but in this world merit seldom meets its reward. A fine exterior is what people look at nowadays.” The Flea then went into foreign service, where, it is said, he was killed. The Grasshopper sat without on a green bank, and reflected on worldly things; and he said too, “Yes, a fine exterior is everything—a fine exterior is what people care about.” And then he began chirping his peculiar melancholy song, from which we have taken this history; and which may, very possibly, be all untrue, although it does stand here printed in black and white.

    The Fir-Tree is a literary fairy tale by the Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen. The tale is about a fir tree so anxious to grow up, so anxious for greater things, that he cannot appreciate living in the moment. In the woods stands a little fir tree. He is preoccupied with growing up and is thoroughly embarrassed when a hare hops over him, an act that emphasizes his diminutiveness. The women call him the baby of the forest and again he is embarrassed and frustrated. A stork tells him of seeing older trees chopped down and used as ship masts, and the little tree envies them. In the fall, nearby trees are felled and the sparrows tell the little fir tree of seeing them decorated in houses. One day while still in his youth, the fir tree is cut down for a Christmas decoration. He is bought, carried into a house, decorated, and, on Christmas Eve, glows with candles, colored apples, toys, and baskets of candy. A gold star tops the tree. The children enter and plunder the tree of its candy and gifts, then listen to a little fat man tell the story of 'Humpty Dumpty' "who fell downstairs, and yet was raised to high honors, and obtained the princess's hand". The next day, the fir tree expects the festivities to be renewed, but servants take the tree down and carry him into the attic. The tree is lonely and disappointed, but the mice gather to hear the tree recite the tale of "Klumpe-Dumpe". Rats arrive and, when they belittle the simple tale, the mice leave and do not return. In the spring, the fir tree – now withered and discolored – is carried into the yard. A boy walks on the tree and takes the star from its topmost branch. The fir tree is then cut into pieces and burned. (Summary Source) Follow along or Read the full story with me.

Something is always wrong with those he meets and he cannot be certain they are real princesses because they have bad table manners or they are not his type. One stormy night, a young woman drenched with rain seeks shelter in the prince's castle. She claims to be a princess, so the prince's mother decides to test their unexpected guest by placing a pea in the bed she is offered for the night, covered by huge mattresses and 20 feather beds. In the morning, the guest tells her hosts that she endured a sleepless night, kept awake by something hard in the bed that she is certain has bruised her. With the proof of her bruised back, the princess passes the test and the prince rejoices happily, for only a real princess would have the sensitivity to feel a pea through such a quantity of bedding. The two are happily married, and the story ends with the pea being placed in a museum, where, according to the story, it can still be seen today unless someone has stolen it.

He traveled all over the world in hopes of finding such a lady, but there was always something wrong. Princesses he found in plenty; but whether they were real Princesses it was impossible for him to decide, for now, one thing, now another seemed to him not quite right about the ladies. At last, he returned to his palace quite cast down, because he wished so much to have a real Princess for his wife. One evening a fearful tempest arose, it thundered and lightened, and the rain poured down from the sky in torrents: besides, it was as dark as pitch. All at once there was heard a violent knocking at the door, and the old King, the Prince's father, went out himself to open it. It was a Princess who was standing outside the door. What with the rain and the wind, she was in a sad condition; the water trickled down from her hair, and her clothes clung to her body. She said she was a real Princess. “Ah! we shall soon see that!” thought the old Queen-mother; however, she said not a word of what she was going to do; but went quietly into the bedroom, took all the bedclothes off the bed, and put three little peas on the bedstead. She then laid twenty mattresses one upon another over the three peas and put twenty feather beds over the mattresses. Upon this bed, the Princess was to pass the night. The next morning she was asked how she had slept. “Oh, very badly indeed!” she replied. “I have scarcely closed my eyes the whole night through. I do not know what was in my bed, but I had something hard under me, and am all over black and blue. It has hurt me so much!” Now it was plain that the lady must be a real Princess since she had been able to feel the three little peas through the twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. None but a real Princess could have had such a delicate sense of feeling. The Prince accordingly made her his wife; being now convinced that he had found a real Princess. The three peas were however put into the cabinet of curiosities, where they are still to be seen, provided they are not lost. Wasn't this a lady of real delicacy?

    A Reading of Chapter 16 and the Epilogue of the Time Machine by H.G. Wells found on Project Gutenberg. The Time Machine Summary A group of men, including the narrator, is listening to the Time Traveller discuss his theory that time is the fourth dimension. The Time Traveller produces a miniature time machine and makes it disappear into thin air. The next week, the guests return, to find their host stumbling in, looking disheveled and tired. They sit down after dinner, and the Time Traveller begins his story. The Time Traveller had finally finished work on his time machine, and it rocketed him into the future. When the machine stops, in the year 802,701 AD, he finds himself in a paradisiacal world of small humanoid creatures called Eloi. They are frail and peaceful and give him fruit to eat. He explores the area, but when he returns he finds that his time machine is gone. He decides that it has been put inside the pedestal of a nearby statue. He tries to pry it open but cannot. In the night, he begins to catch glimpses of strange white ape-like creatures the Eloi call Morlocks. He decides that the Morlocks live below ground, down the wells that dot the landscape. Meanwhile, he saves one of the Eloi from drowning, and she befriends him. Her name is Weena. The Time Traveller finally works up enough courage to go down into the world of Morlocks to try to retrieve his time machine. He finds that matches are a good defense against the Morlocks, but ultimately they chase him out of their realm. Frightened by the Morlocks, he takes Weena to try to find a place where they will be safe from the Morlocks' nocturnal hunting. He goes to what he calls the Palace of Green Porcelain, which turns out to be a museum. There, he finds more matches, some camphor, and a lever he can use as a weapon.

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 4, 2022 43:56


    A Reading of Chapter 14 and Chapter 15 of the Time Machine by H.G. Wells found on Project Gutenberg. The Time Machine Summary A group of men, including the narrator, is listening to the Time Traveller discuss his theory that time is the fourth dimension. The Time Traveller produces a miniature time machine and makes it disappear into thin air. The next week, the guests return, to find their host stumbling in, looking disheveled and tired. They sit down after dinner, and the Time Traveller begins his story. The Time Traveller had finally finished work on his time machine, and it rocketed him into the future. When the machine stops, in the year 802,701 AD, he finds himself in a paradisiacal world of small humanoid creatures called Eloi. They are frail and peaceful and give him fruit to eat. He explores the area, but when he returns he finds that his time machine is gone. He decides that it has been put inside the pedestal of a nearby statue. He tries to pry it open but cannot. In the night, he begins to catch glimpses of strange white ape-like creatures the Eloi call Morlocks. He decides that the Morlocks live below ground, down the wells that dot the landscape. Meanwhile, he saves one of the Eloi from drowning, and she befriends him. Her name is Weena. The Time Traveller finally works up enough courage to go down into the world of Morlocks to try to retrieve his time machine. He finds that matches are a good defense against the Morlocks, but ultimately they chase him out of their realm. Frightened by the Morlocks, he takes Weena to try to find a place where they will be safe from the Morlocks' nocturnal hunting. He goes to what he calls the Palace of Green Porcelain, which turns out to be a museum. There, he finds more matches, some camphor, and a lever he can use as a weapon. That night, retreating from the Morlocks through a giant wood, he accidentally starts a fire. Many Morlocks die in the fire and the battle that ensues, and Weena is killed.

The air is very thin, and the only sign of life is a black blob with tentacles. He sees a planet eclipse the sun. He then returns, exhausted, to the present time. The next day, he leaves again but never returns.

    The Time Machine Chapter 3 - The Time Traveller Returns - H.G. Wells

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 19, 2022 21:23


    A Reading of Chapter 3 of the Time Machine by H.G. Wells found on Project Gutenberg. The Time Machine Summary A group of men, including the narrator, is listening to the Time Traveller discuss his theory that time is the fourth dimension. The Time Traveller produces a miniature time machine and makes it disappear into thin air. The next week, the guests return, to find their host stumbling in, looking disheveled and tired. They sit down after dinner, and the Time Traveller begins his story. The Time Traveller had finally finished work on his time machine, and it rocketed him into the future. When the machine stops, in the year 802,701 AD, he finds himself in a paradisiacal world of small humanoid creatures called Eloi. They are frail and peaceful and give him fruit to eat. He explores the area, but when he returns he finds that his time machine is gone. He decides that it has been put inside the pedestal of a nearby statue. He tries to pry it open but cannot. In the night, he begins to catch glimpses of strange white ape-like creatures the Eloi call Morlocks. He decides that the Morlocks live below ground, down the wells that dot the landscape. Meanwhile, he saves one of the Eloi from drowning, and she befriends him. Her name is Weena. The Time Traveller finally works up enough courage to go down into the world of Morlocks to try to retrieve his time machine. He finds that matches are a good defense against the Morlocks, but ultimately they chase him out of their realm. Frightened by the Morlocks, he takes Weena to try to find a place where they will be safe from the Morlocks' nocturnal hunting. He goes to what he calls the Palace of Green Porcelain, which turns out to be a museum. There, he finds more matches, some camphor, and a lever he can use as a weapon. That night, retreating from the Morlocks through a giant wood, he accidentally starts a fire. Many Morlocks die in the fire and the battle that ensues, and Weena is killed. The exhausted Time Traveller returns to the pedestal to find that it has already been pried open. He strides in confidently, and just when the Morlocks think that they have trapped him, he springs onto the machine and whizzes into the future. The Time Traveller makes several more stops.
