Subject: [Nfb-krafters-korner] Dawn's Den (Chat line#)The Harvest is In
andThe Frost is on the Pumpkins Nov 15th 9PM EST

TO ALL LIST MEMBERS:     
                                                                  
 At Dawn's Den the apples are picked and the squash, carrots and beets are
in the root cellar. Our harvest is in and the corn stalks are tied up in the
fields to dry. The smokey smell of leaves still smoldering in the autumn
dusk lingers and the cool autumn air frosts the pumpkins with a thin icy
glaze. Mom takes off her apron from putting the last apple pie in the oven
and Dad pours his cup of hot coffee, pinching at the crusts of the pumpkin
pies cooling on the cupboard shelf. They pull up their favorite chair and
put up their feet next to the glowing wood stove to relax for an
hour and hear "Ole Timey" Harvest seasonal stories coming from
WKKD. (Monday, Nov 15th, 9PM EST)  
 
  Gather your children and dial in on your phone line (preferably with
speaker device) to listen to our next group of readings by Secretary, Audrey
Wellner. These seasonal short stories are passed down from generations of
mothers, fathers and grandparents as "Tales of Long Ago and Far Away." 
  Stories offered this season:
        Dance of the Little People - An Iroquois tale
        Apple Picking - A moral story with a lesson
        The Cinnamon Tree - A Chinese tale of Jealousy
        The Enchanted Apple Tree - A story from Flanders with a moral and  
A Thanksgiving for Crows - A Canadian tale with a lesson
   
  Some of these stories might seem a little scarey for modern children who
were not taught these tales from their grandparents, but children back then
understood that tales were told both as a way learning not to do things that
were dangerous and as a lesson of respect to listen to their elders
guidance. Understanding these stories taught moral lessons that were
not meant to hurt, but to teach them a type of lesson. So they
listened quietly and learned what they were told without question because
they usually had to relate back to their grandparents what the story meant
or, "what the moral of the story was", when the story was finished. This
way the lesson was properly learned and the story was transferred from
generation to generation.
   Older members will relive a time of yesteryear when they heard these
stories from their grandparts or over their cracklin radio sets in the
parlor, when TV was a far flung thing of the future.
   Children are welcomed to listen in only if they remain very quiet and
listen intently because they might have to relate, "what the moral of the
story is"!  
   
  Please join me, both old and young alike, Monday, November 15th at Dawn's
Harvest Den, 9:00 PM EST: 1-218-862-3242, enter #1, hit #1 and then #50. 
 
  I will read for approximately 1 hour, (about 5 short stories) with
discussions to follow.  Please arrive early so as not to disturb others
listening and reserve questions till the end of the stories to preserve the
atmosphere.... Come in quietly, sit down and listen.  Hot cider, pumpkin
pie and munchies will be served around the fireplaces across the country
after the show. 
Brought to you from the "Land of Beyond" by Audrey Wellner, Secretary NFB
Krafters Korner division
PS:  Krafter Korner, division of the NFB and all its officers not
responsible for causing any adverse thoughts for partaking in this reading
and hope that some positive moral behavior will be learned from this
session.
