A tale about Jim and the time he accidentally lassoed Father Time. A story by Lyman Frank Baum.

Father Time
I felt that this story was very telling, in that it talked about what happens when “time stops”. I felt a little bit sad because Jim thought that it would be fun to make fun of everyone who had wronged him in the beginning of the story, but then as the story continued, he realized that it wasn’t as funny as he originally thought. It was a very good story though, I liked it a lot!

Distracting
The storyteller has a very pleasant voice but the mispronunciation of “bridle” (should not rhyme with griddle but should sound like bridal), “ tableau” (tab-low), and “scythe” (should rhyme with writhe) was jarringly distracting.
