Hey! You've found some bonus material!

If you're at this page, you're one of the lucky ones. (You may want to bookmark it.) Below is a short preview of a children's story that I've written, illustrated, and animated, as a personal project.

Since you'll be jumping right into the middle of the action, let me set the stage.

The premise:

Four children, with quite different personalities, have been assigned to work on a solar system project together. The problem is that they have to learn how to work together despite their differences. At just the right moment, Grandma intervenes; and with a little help from Aesop, she demonstrates the value of cooperation.

Naturally, there is audio involved. Consider yourself warned and adjust your speakers accordingly before you click the play button to start the clip.

Oh dear. I don't know how you made it this far without Javascript enabled and the latest version of Flash player (free download), but you must have these technologies enabled in order to view this clip (not to mention for optimal viewing of the entire website).

If you do have Flash Player installed and Javascript enabled, then just give the clip a few more seconds to load...
