| 0:00.0 | And the Yeah, Welcome to another episode from 1001 Classic Short Stories and Tales. |
| 0:35.0 | We have had an explosion of new subscribers lately and I wanted to thank all of you who have told others about us |
| 0:41.0 | and encourage those of you who have kept us a secret to please tell a friend. |
| 0:46.0 | We are now in 180 countries and we're highly ranked in apples, literature, arts, and books genres. |
