Hello, welcome to Stories Podcast.

I'm your host, Amanda Weldon.

Today's story is a chapter from the classic novel, Anne of Green Gables, by Lucy Maud Montgomery.

We have Stories Podcast merch available at Storiespodcast.com slash shop.

We're also on Cameo for all of your personalized video message needs, and don't

forget to follow us on Instagram at Stories Podcast. If you send us a drawing of your favorite

scene or character, we'll share it on our feed. Now here's a word from our sponsors.

Before we dive into today's tale, here's something magical for our listeners. Imagine turning

the adventures you hear about from stories into real-life experiences. With Groupon, your family can

discover activities that mirror the tales we share, like visiting a castle, exploring a zoo, or

crafting your own masterpiece in an art class. When I checked out Groupon

offerings in my area, I saw an amazing deal on a whale watch right nearby. My family and I will

definitely be doing that this summer. Your next magical family day might be hiding in the

Groupon app too, just waiting to be discovered. Groupon is offering our listeners a very special promotion to get

your adventure started. Use Code Stories 30 to get 30% off when checking out at Groupon before

May 31st. That's Code Stories 30. Groupon, adventure is just around the corner. Is your child

way ahead of their peers in some subjects and maybe trailing just a little

bit behind in others?

You can find lessons that will give them the support they need in those tougher subjects

and challenge them to continue improving in the other ones, all on IXL.com.

IXL is an online learning program for kids that covers math, language arts, science, and social studies, and offers interactive practice problems for every topic from pre-K to 12th grade.

Every topic is organized by grade and subject, or you can navigate by textbook.
