Welcome to Disney's Magic of Storytelling podcast, brought to you by WakeMed Children's,

because inside every child is a story waiting to be told.

Our storyteller is ABC 11's Gloria Rodriguez.

This is Disney's Lady and the Tramp Story.

Lady was a Cocker Spaniel who came to live with two people called

Darling and Jim Deere. She had two neat feeding bowls of her own. She had a basket with a blanket of her

own too. But she trained her people to feed her from the table just a bit now and then. And she trained

them to let her sleep at the foot of their beds. She brought in their morning newspaper and most of the mail.

And she ran when Jim Deer whistled coming home at night.

Lady was sure that she had a very happy home.

And her two next-door neighbors, jock and trusty by name,

two gentlemanly dogs agreed with her.

But there was another dog in the neighborhood.

A saucy young fellow called the tramp,

all where no man's collar was his proud boast.

That's the way to be happy, said he.

But where do you sleep, lady asked him?

And what do you do for food?

Ah, that's easily arranged if you know your way around,

said the tramp with a jaunty air. As for you, my proud beauty, you'll find things very different

when a baby comes to your house to stay, but there's only so much room for love in people's

hearts, and when a baby comes in, out goes the dog.
