Ron Reads Boring Books
Are you tired? You will be. Because I will read to you a boring book and it will be worse than you doing nothing. This podcast is not intended to entertain you. It is intended to bore you. The length of each podcast will vary so you cannot plan your listening easily. Some reads will be short. Some will be excruciatingly long. There will be no intro or outro music. The only sound is my voice and other random sounds as they happen. I change my voice as I read the dialog. Also, I have a southern accent and do not read well. Thank you for listening.

Hello, are you tired? You will be tired, yes, you will be. We're continuing our series of boring reads. We're reading Aesop's Fables, and this fable is called the Cock and the Pearl. I repeat, the Cock and the Pearl. Let's begin. A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he espied something shining amid the straw. Ho Ho Quoth he that's for me and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. What did it turn out to be? But a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard. You might be a treasure quoth, master Cock. Treasure quoth, master Cock, to men that prize you, but for me I would rather have a single barleycorn than a pack of pearls. Precious things are for those that can prize them. This has been the Cock and the Pearl by Aesop. Please a five-star rating if you will subscribe, share, leave a review. Thank you, goodbye.
