Editor's note: I pushed this one back so that I could fit in a Memorial Day themed record which I found last Friday and figured it was an omen that I should happen across it at the last moment.
I'm glad that I'm learning all the classic children's stories of my youth as an old grizzled bastard. When I should have been listening to more of these I was catching baseball games on the radio/TV, reading baseball books or playing Start-O-Matic with in detail stats. Baseball baseball baseball. I'll be sure to even out that platform with the time I spend with my little one.

Thank you for posting this! I've been looking for it and I'm glad it's somewhere. I used to have this story as a cassette back in the late 80s/early 90s, and I was glad to hear it again! Something about this story terrified me and I just had to figure out why. I think it was the music playing as the sun was coming up. Children are strange. Either way, the story iis amazing. Thanks again!
