Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, little dreamers. I'm Sarah, and today's magical tale is
called The Mountain in Labor. Are you ready? Let's begin.
Once upon a time, in a quiet little village there
stood a grand and towering mountain. One day, a strange
rumbling sound echoed from deep within its rocky peaks. The villagers,

(00:24):
curious and a little frightened, gathered around the mountain, whispering
to one another in hushed tones. It's the Mountain in Labor,
they exclaimed. Surely something magnificent is about to emerge from it.
As the rumbling grew louder and the ground trembled beneath

(00:47):
their feet, the villager's excitement turned into anticipation. They imagined
all sorts of wonderful things coming forth from the mighty mountain.
Would it be a giant treasure of gold and jewels,
or perhaps a new and magical creature that would enchant
the land. The villagers watched and waited, their eyes wide

(01:12):
with wonder The earth shook and the mountain groaned, as
if it were working hard to bring forth something spectacular.
The suspense was almost too much to bear. Finally, with
one last mighty roar, the mountain gave a great heave.
The villagers gasped and leaned in to see what would emerge,

(01:35):
and then, to their surprise, out from the mountain's depths
came a tiny, tiny mouse. The villagers couldn't believe their
eyes a mouse after all that noise and shaking. They
looked at each other and burst into laughter. The mountain,

(01:55):
which seemed so powerful and full of promise, had only
produced a little mouse. From that day on, the villagers
learned an important lesson. Sometimes things that seem grand and
mighty might not always result in something big. It's always
wise to keep expectations in check and not get carried

(02:19):
away by appearances or noise. And so in the little
village by the mountain, the people remembered that even small
things can make a big impression, and they never forgot
to find joy in the simple surprises of life. And
that's the end of to day's tale, my little adventurers.
