Is Heard On
'Story Time" j
Rev. Frederick Valentine, Jr.,
war guest storyteller for “Story
Time” at the Transylvania coun
ty library last Saturday morn
ing.
The program began with the
children’s singing of “Old Mac
Donald Had A Farm” accompani
I ed by Mr. Valentine’s playing on
[ the banjo. The story Mr. Valen
tine told centered around a little
boy who had a magic bag which
was capable of producing all of
his needs as long as he used the
four magic words, “I thank Thee,
! Lord”.
Clever sketches drawn by Mr.
i Valentine as he told the story of
the boy and his magic bag gave
the children a dynamic picture
of the progress of the plot as it
unfolded.
Following the story, the chil
dren sang a number of songs,
again accompanied by Mr. Val
entine on the banjo.
Mrs. Lehman Kapp, librarian,
reported that approximately 40
children attended the popular
summer event which is sponsor
ed by Friends of the Library
