You read the story with clarity and beauty. The quality of recordings played over the iTalki platform are unfortunately not the best, probably because iTalki doesn't want to expend much bandwidth. I wonder if there might be some workaround. Posting your readings on youtube would require quite a bit of work. Would you please send me the pdf?

Thank you for sending me the link. It is a fabulous story! It's a fable of human nature. I know so many people who are just like the mouse. Those people may not love snakes, but they do sometimes love cats in the same way that the mouse loves the snake. Are cats really all that different? Cats eat just as many lovable creatures as snakes do, maybe more, whether they catch them in the wild or out of a can.
