    I remember reading this story in eighth grade English class, as I'm sure many people did! It was given as an example of irony.

      I can't remember the grade I was in, but I think it was read to us at primary school.
      It obviously made an impact because I remember it still. 😊

    Lovely thank you! Your comments on pronuncition made me laugh. A friend of mine once had an aussie ask him which train for Loogaburoo (Loughborough!)

    Lovely Tony, I'm so chuffed that you chose this.
    Even though I couldn't remember exactly how the story went, I have always remembered the message of love that I told.
    It is message that helped shape me as a person. I have carried it in my heart since childhood.
    Thanks for bringing this one to us.

    Tony, thank you. This marks, from the ninth grade on, the 10,000,000 time I have read, heard or seen this story!
    Have a good holiday!

    I miss your channel of you rambling about your day and dogs and wife etc. Such original gems. Love also your dedication to the literary classics, but most are so short they just can’t counteract that insomnia that drew me to you in the first place.
    Regardless - bravo and keep going. I applaud and support you.

      Have you already heard all the long stories and novels and compilations on all of Tony's channels? 🙂

      I'm still doing the other channels: ghosts and detectives and there is a huge library on ghosts especially, so I hope you will find something there. In terms of my personal disclosures. When my mother died earlier in the year, I think I became far more sensitive to criticism and it so happened, or it seemed that way, that there were a lot of very nasty personal comments made about me by random commentators, that I was a cretin, a Nazi, a man-hater, all nonsense, that I was boring, that I narrated in 'pidgin-English that my accent was grating and 'regional'. Unintentionally, that has made me clam up about my personal life. I realised that all the little things I said about my partner, my dogs, grandson, daughters, even my mother;s death were going in the ears of these poisonous, nasty people who seemed to bear ill-will towards me. So thats why I dont do it so much. Still I do sometimes, because it leaks out, but that's the explanation.

    If you mentioned this and your other channels on CGSP, your subscribers would grow very fast.
    You read perfectly as always.

    I need Mi5 to track down all of Tony's channels.
    Why are they so hard to find?

      If you look at the bottom of the channel page, you should see links to them

      @@ClassicGhost Tony, the links/icons are showing only at the bottom of your Classic Ghost Stories Podcast channel under heading Channels We Like -- but I don't see the links/icons in your Classic Detective Stories or Classic Stories channels.
