ADVERTS DISCLAIMER:

This podcast has ads at the start of every episode. However never in the middle of a story or at the end.

Please be assured all ad blocks have been applied to ensure no over 18 or inappropriate ads are played.

However, there may be the odd occasion where an advert slips through the net because the company submitting them submits them under a category that is not correct. This happens very rarely and I do my upmost to stop this happening.

If this happens, please email me at shortstoriesforkids@gmail.com and let me know the following information: What the ad was for? What state you live in? And what episode you heard it on and I will immediately contact Spreaker to block the ad.

I take this very seriously and I really appreciate your support and co-operation.

As creators, we want your child’s experience to be a pleasurable one. Running adverts is necessary to allow us to operate, but please do consider the premium subscription service as an alternative – it’s ad free.

Preston lived a happy life at the zoo. She was a red panda and the zoo made sure she had plenty of branches to climb amongst.

0:14.0

Somewhere dark and cozy to snuggle down in and all the food she could need.

As far as this red panda was concerned,

life was good. That was until one night, long after the zoo was closed, Preston was rudely

chirp of crickets and the crunch, crunch of boots walking on gravel. The truck's rear creaked open,

and suddenly Preston found herself hoisted into the air again.

1:40.5

"'Quit your fidgeting,' said a surly woman's voice.

1:48.1

You two ain't going nowhere, so you may as well keep steel.
