Greetings Clark's old citizens. Hope this podcast finds you extraordinarily well. It is our sixth story for

but you've never heard it read to you. So yay for new experiences.

And if I may, this is the kind of thing that we do. This is the kind of thing that people are subscribing and pledging their support via Patreon.com forward slash Clark's World, because we do bring you these stories

that maybe you've heard before, maybe you haven't,

and what is old becomes new again,

especially when we put it in different formats that it might not have been in before.
