The Tragic Tale of Limpin' Libby

Rufus Rides a Catfish, and Other Fables from the Farmstead, Fable #4

By: Charles B. Roegiers

Narrated by: Charles B. Roegiers

Old Marietta Wipply had a soft spot for Bud. She also had a surprise for him, if only he would come over for tea and snacks on Monday afternoon and pay her a visit. Between all the work that needed to be done on the farmstead and his job at the university, there was scarcely any time for such an indulgence, but he made an exception for the sweet, old dowager. Her fondness of Bud was second only to her love of cats and birds, which she kept in great numbers in her small, but comfortable house. What was her surprise? Well, let’s go find out!

This book is the fourth in a series of ten fables aimed at inspiring young minds and encouraging thoughtful discussion. Each booklet contains a student worksheet with ten vocabulary words (selected from the story) and five thought-provoking questions suitable for teacher-guided discussions. A Teacher’s Guide booklet for this series is available and highly recommended.
