There is no failure, except to give up. Otherwise, everything else is just ruling out what doesn’t work, until you finally succeed at last.

At least, that’s what my mom always used to tell me when I’d get frustrated and want to give up.

That’s what today’s story is all about: don’t give up.

It’s what the web site, Inkless Tales, is all about, too. Visit sometime and take a look, play, read, draw, explore and more. www.inklesstales.com.

In the meantime: here’s this month’s PODCAST:

Lily can skate - but she can’t keep up, somehow. Until she learns a trick that puts her at the front of the pack.

Listen to the newest story here.

ALSO: Bonus song track: the reinvented “I Know An Old Woman Who Swallowed A Fly” by Elizabeth Williams Bushey.

Welcome back to the Inkless Tales Podcast for Kids. Foolishness is our topic today, and we have a story, a poem and a song for you to enjoy. “Wet Roses,” “Meet My Dog,” and a story today that takes place in the rainforest about a foolish howler monkey and his wise friend, a red-eyed tree frog — a monkey who learns the value of friendship over foolishness.

Enjoy the offerings today — and if you like what you hear, visit Inkless Tales at www.inklesstales.com for more fun, games, stories and play.

All the best, Elizabeth Bushey
