Aesop's Fables, Volume 3 (Fables 51-75)

It's already Thursday and I don't want to get into the weekend without getting started on Volume 3! I thought that the idea of doing Aesop's Fables was charming, but was daunted by the fact that there are 284 of the things. Thanks to Annie for the elegant solution of breaking them up into Volumes of 25 Fables each. That'll allow us to read each Fable as an individual chapter. It'll make for short readings, which should prove a comfortable way for new folks to get their feet wet in the strange new format of reading aloud into your computer. A nice side benefit is that even folks with modem lines should be able to upload these without too much trouble. Most are less than 2 minutes long. Feel free to take a bunch of them!

I've added this to the catalog. Thanks for going ahead and starting this one up, Chip. With all the new folks who will be wanting short pieces to test their equipment and get used to the process, these will get snatched up in no time!

Gesine · Post by **Gesine** » February 2nd, 2006, 7:35 am

Files are on their way to you, Chip - attached to an email with subject LibriVox. Please let me know when you've got them.

I'd like 03-08 Father and Sons and 3 14 The Boy Bathing also.

nerdvana · Post by **nerdvana** » February 2nd, 2006, 8:41 am

Just sent you "The Boy Bathing" the other two are going to wait until this evening so I can colaborate with my son on them.

ChipDoc · Post by **ChipDoc** » February 2nd, 2006, 9:29 am

Thanks Gesine and Nerdvana - I'm still stuck here at work so I won't be able to get the mail for a while, but I've marked them as done anyhow. Still looking forward to two more from nerdvana.

These things really do go pretty quickly, don't they? Better sign up now!

nerdvana · Post by **nerdvana** » February 2nd, 2006, 9:56 am

Yes, they do go fast. On that subject my wife would like to claim some as well. I'll have her generate a screen name if she hasn't already, but I don't know it. She'd like the ones with morals stated outright. These would be:

3-3: The Dog and the Cook
3-6: The Farmer and Fortune
3-15: The Quack Frog
3-19: The Peasant and the Apple-Tree
3-24: The Oxen and the Axletrees
3-25: The Boy and the Filberts

Now, a question for myself. I have had it pointed out to me that I mispronounced Aesop. Do you want me to re-record/correct that part or leave it as is?

ChipDoc · Post by **ChipDoc** » February 2nd, 2006, 10:08 am

Let me know her screen name as soon as you can so we can mark them in the first post. As far as the Aesop pronunciation goes, I haven't heard it yet (you mailed it to my home and I'm still at work) but unless you pronounce it "shite" I'm inclined to let it go as is. There are many regional variations on a lot of the words here; hearing them is part of the charm of LibriVox!

She'll be registering today when she gets home from work (early afternoon). Sorry if I sent it to the wrong place.

As far as the pronounciation goes... I said it AY-sop (the way I always have heard it and said it in the past) instead of EE-sop which is the technically correct pronounciation. But I guess it can stand as is.

I'd like to do 03-16 THE SWOLLEN FOX and 03-21 JUPITER AND THE TORTOISE, please!

Darn it, I really can't resist...

03-01 THE ASS AND HIS SHADOW

ChipDoc · Post by **ChipDoc** » February 2nd, 2006, 5:29 pm

Thanks guys!

03-01 THE ASS AND HIS SHADOW <kri>

03-16 THE SWOLLEN FOX <Biotron2000>
03-21 JUPITER AND THE TORTOISE <Biotron2000>

03-22 THE DOG IN THE MANGER <kayray>

As far as the pronunciation of Aesop goes, I've always pronounced it as an elided ? - as in Encyclop?dia. Just let it go; everyone knows what you mean, and the syllable itself takes only three tenths of a second in any case.
