Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce that Simon and Schuster Publishing Company has given permission for this book to be read out loud and shared on Stories Come to Life until December 31, 2023. But of course, the episodes that fall under that special permission will all be taken down on that date, so listen now, while they’re available!
This story from Throwing Shadows, by E. L. Konigsburg is “In the Village of the Weavers.” Here we meet Ampara, a tour guide in Ecuador. She meets Antonio, a very intelligent young man who has some good entrepreneurial ideas. But Antonio doesn’t see the need for politeness if he is getting things his own way. Ampara wants to help him improve his life, so she sets him an example of how to make life a little more beautiful by showing him kindness.
Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.
Listening to audiobooks really does count as reading, and there's no better way to relax than to hear Stories Come to Life!
