Re-portions are transcribed. Ray Milan is your host. Our family theater story this week is about a Leprechaun. That's right a Leprechaun. the little folk from Never Never Land. Everything about this leprechaun was fine except that he wouldn't listen, wouldn't listen to anybody. Many of us are like that. Many fathers and mothers constantly hear of the dangers threatening the good spiritual and moral life of their

family, but too often they don't listen. They forget to turn to God and ask His help through daily family prayers. They forget that the family that prays together stays together. It's time we started listening where our family is concerned.

Because they're the most important possession we have in the world. But about that leprechaun who wouldn't listen, his name was Johnny. Maybe I'd better let Edmund Gwen tell you all about it. Once upon a time in the days when their good folk inhabited the earth, they lived with a little leprechaun named Johnny.

Now as you know, all leprechauns are by nature, shoemakers, and they possess the secret of wealth. If you have a catcher leprechaun, he's forced to tell you the secret. Yes, but a leprechaun is very hard to catch.

He's just nine inches tall from head to toe. Now, Johnny leprechaun was doubly hard to catch because he was just a youngster, and he was only a four and a half inches tall from head to toe.

Johnny was a pride and joy of the good folk, and he tried very hard to learn all the things that would make him help to grow up to be the finest leprechaun in the whole fairy kingdom.
