Fada Moranga loves Thumbelina!

Thumbelina

A translation of Hans Christian Andersen's "Tommelise" by Jean Hersholt.

There once was a woman who wanted so very much to have a tiny little child, but she did not know where to find one. So she went to an old witch, and she said:

"I have set my heart upon having a tiny little child. Please could you tell me where I can find one?"

"Why, that's easily done," said the witch. "Here's a grain of barley for you, but it isn't at all the sort of barley that farmers grow in their fields or that the chickens get to eat. Put it in a flower pot and you'll see what you shall see."

This dog eats Alphabet Soup!

One day, Martha was accidentally given a bowl of alphabet soup instead of regular dog food. The letters went into her brain and she developed the ability to talk. And boy, did she talk! To keep up her speech, Martha needs periodic doses of alphabet soup. Her family complained that she was talking too much, so she stopped eating her soup and refused to talk. One day a cat burglar broke into her house, and their lives were never the same...

Martha is the star of this tv show. She is outspoken, honest, loyal, kind, and very talkative! Although she is bilingual (speaking human and dog), she sees the world from a dog's point of view. She can also translate what most other animals are saying.

THE AUTHOR

The Martha Speaks TV show is based on the books written and illustrated by Susan Meddaugh. Susan grew up in New Jersey, studied art and illustration, and now lives in Massachusetts with her family — including her dogs of course. Martha was a real dog who lived with Susan and her family. One day, when Susan's son Niko (who was then 7) was eating alphabet soup, he wondered what would happen if they fed the soup to Martha. Would she talk?

Dear Postman Pat!

Postman Pat is one of the most popular children’s tv series ever. It was created by John Cunliffe in 1981 and is set in a fictitious British village called Greendale in Cumbria. The show follows the adventures of Pat Clifton, a postman who has a heart of gold. Pat is followed everywhere by his pet cat, Jess who is famously referred to as the black and white cat in the theme music.

Postman Pat initially concentrates on delivering his Royal Mail letters through the valley of Greendale, but he often becomes distracted by some issue involving one of the villagers and is relied upon to resolve their problems. In the end he manages to provide the best quality postal service.

Postman Pat portrays a gentle world, illustrating the life of a close-knit village community where family and strong values are important. Many new characters have joined the series since it began, including Postman Pat's wife, Sara, and his son, Julian. The action has also moved beyond Mrs Goggins and the Greendale Post Office, as there is also a local train station run by Ajay Bains and his family, and a vintage steam train called the Greendale Rocket, which travels into the neighbouring town of Pencaster.

Since 2008, Postman Pat joined the Special Delivery Service in Pencaster where he has helicopters and parachutes at his disposal as well as his trusty red van!
