Timmy loved to sing and dance, but he was very quiet. He didn't like to make noise, so he never sang or danced very loud. One day, Timmy's mom bought him a microphone. It was big and red, and it made Timmy very happy.Timmy wanted to sing into his microphone, but he didn't know how to use it. He asked his mom for help, and she showed him how to use it. Timmy had so much fun singing into his microphone that he sang all day long. His mom was proud of him for being so creative.As Timmy grew older, he learned to be less noisy. He still sang and danced, but he made sure to use his microphone and other things without making too much noise. Timmy reversed his learning and became a better singer and dancer.</description><author>tmamacos@gmail.com (Tony Mamacos)</author><guid isPermaLink="false">https://github.com/tonym128/storytime/raw/main/media/2023-12-25-once-upon-a-time,-there-was-a-little-boy-named-timmy.txt.mp3</guid><enclosure url="https://github.com/tonym128/storytime/raw/main/media/2023-12-25-once-upon-a-time,-there-was-a-little-boy-named-timmy.txt.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Tony Mamacos</itunes:author><itunes:order>20231225</itunes:order></item><item><title>2023-12-24 - Once there was a cute little girl called Jill</title><link>https://ttech.mamacos.media/storytime/post/2023/12/24/once-there-was-a-cute-little-girl-called-jill.html</link><description>Once there was a cute little girl called Jill.

He saw a rare, big red ball in the sky. Tim wanted to touch the ball, but it was too far away. He thought of a plan to reach the ball.Tim found a ladder and put it against a tree. He started to climb the ladder, but then he heard a voice say, "Stop! Don't climb the tree!" Tim looked around and saw a little bird on a branch. The bird said, "This is my home. If you come up, I will lose my eggs."Tim stopped and thought about it. He didn't want the bird to lose her eggs. He said, "I won't climb your tree. I just want to touch the big red ball in the sky." The bird thanked Tim and flew up to the ball.After a while, the bird came back to Tim and said, "The ball is higher now. You can't touch it. You can only look at it." Tim smiled and thanked the bird for helping him. He climbed down the ladder and went home, happy that he didn't touch the rare big red ball in the sky.</description><author>tmamacos@gmail.com (Tony Mamacos)</author><guid isPermaLink="false">https://github.com/tonym128/storytime/raw/main/media/2023-11-20-one-day,-a-boy-named-tim-went-for-a-walk.txt.mp3</guid><enclosure url="https://github.com/tonym128/storytime/raw/main/media/2023-11-20-one-day,-a-boy-named-tim-went-for-a-walk.txt.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Tony Mamacos</itunes:author><itunes:order>20231120</itunes:order></item><item><title>2023-11-19 - Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy</title><link>https://ttech.mamacos.media/storytime/post/2023/11/19/once-upon-a-time,-there-was-a-boy-named-timmy.html</link><description>Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy.

The wind picked up the dirty bunny and the big, red apple, and carried them far away. The messy bunny realized that he should have listened to his mom and dad. He learned his lesson and promised to clean up after himself from now on.</description><author>tmamacos@gmail.com (Tony Mamacos)</author><guid isPermaLink="false">https://github.com/tonym128/storytime/raw/main/media/2023-10-02-once-upon-a-time,-in-a-big,-green-forest,-a-messy-bunny-lived-with-his-family.txt.mp3</guid><enclosure url="https://github.com/tonym128/storytime/raw/main/media/2023-10-02-once-upon-a-time,-in-a-big,-green-forest,-a-messy-bunny-lived-with-his-family.txt.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Tony Mamacos</itunes:author><itunes:order>20231002</itunes:order></item><item><title>2023-10-01 - Once upon a time, there was a big castle where a king lived</title><link>https://ttech.mamacos.media/storytime/post/2023/10/01/once-upon-a-time,-there-was-a-big-castle-where-a-king-lived.html</link><description>Once upon a time, there was a big castle where a king lived.

Linda always wanted to be the best, so she kept trying to do things better than her friends.One day, Linda saw a tasty looking pie on the kitchen table. It looked so good that she took it without asking. She quickly gobbled it up and was so happy.But when the lifeguard saw what she did, he was very angry. He said that Linda had done something wrong and she had to be punished.Linda was so frightened that she couldn't even speak. The lifeguard said it was because she had taken a tasty pie without asking. He said she would be punished for a long time.So, Linda had to go to the hospital and was not allowed to come back home.The moral of the story is that when someone tells you to do something wrong, it is important to listen and obey.
