Byron the Elf: Time now for another visit with... S.L.: Hello, children. Today we're going to hear the story I call "The Tortoise and the Hare." (SFX: Music box) Once upon a time there was a race between a tortoise and a hare. But the hare went to sleep and the tortoise won. (SFX: Music box ends.) Byron:...that's all, Story Lady? S.L.: Uh-huh. Byron: Well, that's an awfully short story. S.L.: Yes. Well, there are short ones and long ones. Right? Byron: But, Story Lady... S.L.: (Interrupting) Look, I'm in a hurry. I've gotta buy some muscatel for the weekend, so, let me out of here a little early, okay? Byron: But what about your fans, Story Lady? S.L.: Let 'em get their OWN muscatel! Now,
am I going out that door past you, over you or THROUGH you???
(SFX: Sounds of a fistfight, followed by a door slam.) Byron: Thank you, Story Lady. Be sure you're listening next time, boys and girls, when The Story Lady tells us where to go if you want a bone stuck through your nose. ©1968, 2001 Mel Blanc Productions.
