Story Nory - free audiobooks for kids The Tin-soldier trembled; but he remained steadfast, showed no emotion, looked straight in front of him, shouldering his gun. This touching story by Hans Christian Anderson relates how a brave tin soldier keeps a stiff upper lip throughout his adventures. He is treated unfairly but never complains, and always remains true to the toy ballerina with whom he has fallen in love. He stands as firmly on one leg as the others soldiers stand on two, and as Andersen says, he is the one who became famous. Natasha brings to life the magical world of the tin toys, as well as their very human emotions. Proofread by Claire Deakin.

grimmtmp from cmu.edu - StumbleUpon This book contains 209 tales collected by the brothers Grimm. The exact print source is unknown. The etext appears to be based on the translation by Margaret Hunt called Grimm's Household Tales, but it is not identical to her edition. (Some of the translations are slightly different, the arrangement also differs, and the Grimm's scholarly notes are not included.) The etext received by the Universal Library did not include story titles. They have been restored in this edition, based on Hunt's titles. Note that these tales are presented more or less as the Grimms collected and edited them (and as Hunt saw fit to translate them). NEW: There is now a more accurate version of the Hunt translation posted by William Barker.
The Fall of Rome - Ancient Rome for Kids Rome - Kingdom, Republic and Empire together - lasted about 1200 years. Rome ruled all around the Mediterranean and large sections of Europe and Southwest Asia. Yet in the end, the problems grew too great and the Western Roman Empire fell. Why did the empire fall apart? There is no one single reason, but was instead a series of problems that grew too large to solve. One problem was that the empire grew too large to govern. Another problem was that the Roman men no longer wanted to serve in the army. There were other problems. The Romans were aware of these problems and sometimes, under a good emperor, they would work on them for a while. The Eastern Roman empire continued another 1000 years.

The Moral Underground: How Ordinary Americans Subvert an Unfair Economy by... All around you are everyday heroes who refuse to be complicit in the economic mistreatment of other people. posted Mar 18, 2011 "Work is a core class intersection in American life." Bea, a manager at a big-box chain store in Maine, likes to keep a professional atmosphere in the store. Andrew, a manager in a large food business in the Midwest, told me about the moral dilemma of employing people who can’t take care of their families even though they are working hard. He described how it changed his job, tainted it, to be supervising people who couldn’t get by on what he paid them. Ned, who works in a chain grocery store, detours some of the “product” that doesn’t quite pass muster—dented cans, not-quite-fresh produce—to his low-wage employees. Paycheck inequalities Today, one in four U.S. workers earns less than $9 an hour—about $19,000 per year. At first I thought he was going to tell me his own financial problems. A few went beyond concern. This article was adapted for YES! Interested?
