| 0:00.0 | And the Yeah, Welcome back everyone to one thousand one classic short stories and tales. This is your host John Hagadorn. Today, another story |
| 0:36.5 | from one of my favorite authors, Jack London. This one's called The End of the Story. Hope you enjoy it. |
| 0:44.0 | Part one. |
| 0:46.0 | The table was of hand-hewn spruce boards, |
| 0:49.0 | and the men who played wist had frequent difficulties in drawing home their tricks across the uneven surface. |
| 0:55.4 | Though they sat in their undershirts, the sweat noduled and oozed on their faces, yet their feet, |

| 1:42.0 | They played a momentous rubber of wist, |
| 1:44.0 | for the pair that lost, was to dig a fishing hole |
| 1:47.0 | through the seven feet of ice and snow that covered the Yukon. |
| 1:51.0 | It's mighty unusual, a cold snap like this in March remarked the man who shuffled. |
| 1:57.0 | What would you call it Bob? |
| 1:59.0 | All 55 or 60 below? |
