 Hello. My name is Sandra and I'm joining you as part of the British Library's Digital Storytelling Session. Do you like stories? I know I do. In the British Library we have many special books about many different talking animals. Who are crafty, who are curious? Please check out our Discovering Children's books. You'll find many such animals there. You'll find the Aesop fables. I'm going to tell you an Aesop fable about a very, very greedy dog, a naughty dog. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. There was once a naughty, greedy dog who one day decided to go into town to get into mischief. He passed shop after shop after shop, but it was at the last shop, the butcher shop. On the count, he saw a fat, juicy, yummy, a scrummy bone. That naughty dog did a very naughty thing. He grabbed the bone and began to run and run and run and run and run and run and run and run. Can you join in with me? Run and run and run and run and run and run and run and run and run. He ran so far and so fast because he wanted to find a secret place to eat his bone. He stopped at the river and was just about to cross it to find his secret place when he looked in the water and he saw a very, very big dog and the dog had a bone and he thought that bone looks better than my bone. Then he had an idea if he could have that bone with his bone. He could have many bones and so that naughty dog did a very, very, very naughty thing. He jumped into the water. Now I do not want you to ever try this and he forgot he couldn't do one. Can you guess what he couldn't do? Shall we say it together? After three, one, two, three, swim! You're right, he couldn't swim. He began to bark loudly. He barked so loudly his mum and dad heard him came running. Brothers, sisters, uncle, aunts, cousins, friends, teachers, librarians, they all came running and they pulled him out and they looked at him. What are you doing in the water? There was this other dog with a great big bone. Other dog, great big bone. Are you sure? Yes. They looked at each other and they all shook their head and said, there was no other dog. It was, who was the other dog? Have you guessed who the other dog was? Shall we say that together as well? After three, one, two, three, it was you! They all said it was your reflection. No, I'm sorry. I'll be a good dog from now on and indeed he was. They all went home and the greedy top wasn't greedy or naughty ever again. In fact, he grew up to become a very, very good dog. He grew up to become, you're going to like this bit, a professor at the Bone University studying boneology. I saw him last week and he's doing fine. Yeah, you know, we saw each other. You know, we found, we text, we email. Look at my face. I ever tell the truth. If you can create your own story about a crafty, a curious animal, a talking animal, can you create one? Can you tell one? Can you write one? Can you draw? We love to see them here at the British Library. What adventures can you take them on? Please share them with us. Go into discovering children's books and see what curious and crafty animals are there. We look forward to hearing from you. My name is Sandra. Thank you for listening. Happy stories. Goodbye. Goodbye.
