Poor Richard's Almanack
A brief biographical sketch of Franklin's life, followed by a collection (published in 1899) of 670 aphorisms, apothegms, or proverbs - short, pithy, instructive sayings - that were scattered throughout the pages of his Poor Richard's Almanack over its 25 years of once-a-year publication (1732-1758). Many of these sayings are familiar to all . . . 'a penny saved is a penny earned' . . . 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' . . . but there are many more for you to laugh at, ponder over and learn from! Most were not invented by him, but these little gems of wisdom Franklin gleaned from all over the world are what made his Almanack so wildly popular, and himself a wealthy man.

All the Brothers Were Valiant by Ben Ames Williams audiobook.
Genre: adventure
Set against the salt-stung coasts and far ports of the 1800s, All the Brothers Were Valiant follows two seafaring brothers from a New England shipbuilding family whose lives diverge as sharply as wind and tide. Joel and Jim Shore share the same blood and the same hunger for the sea, but their temperaments pull them toward different choices - one toward steady responsibility at home, the other toward risk, reinvention, and the dangerous freedom of distant waters. When a prized vessel and a high-stakes voyage become entangled with rumor, pride, and a shadowed past, the brothers are drawn into a test of loyalty that reaches from quiet harbors to treacherous open ocean. As storms, rivalries, and hard bargains mount, each man must decide what kind of courage he is willing to claim, and what he is willing to sacrifice for family and honor. Rich in maritime detail and driven by tense personal conflict, this is a sweeping adventure about brotherhood, identity, and the price of living by the call of the sea.

![undefined - The Adventures of Pinocchio by C. Collodi ~ Full Audiobook [folklore]](https://storage.googleapis.com/goodpods-images-bucket/episode_images/cbd6b142e8689870c009f5e8b70e8e41561c2b3fe6a3e1b7c765da6d019e8b96.avif)
The Adventures of Pinocchio by C. Collodi audiobook.
Genre: folklore
In a humble Italian workshop, the lonely woodcarver Geppetto carves a marionette from a lively piece of wood and names him Pinocchio. To Geppetto's astonishment, the puppet can talk, laugh, sulk, and bolt out the door the moment he gets the chance. Pinocchio wants the privileges of a real boy, but he has no patience for the responsibility that comes with them, and his hunger for quick fun makes him easy prey for smooth-talking tricksters and too-good-to-be-true promises. Sent toward school and a better life, he instead tumbles into a chain of misadventures that test his honesty, courage, and ability to care about anyone beyond himself. Along the way he encounters a stern but watchful conscience, deceptive companions, harsh lessons about work and poverty, and moments of genuine kindness that he almost squanders. As Geppetto searches and sacrifices for his wayward creation, Pinocchio must face the consequences of his choices and decide what kind of person he wants to become. Darkly comic and sharply moral, Collodi's classic explores temptation, accountability, and the hard-earned path from selfishness to character.
