Tom Teaches: Americanisms
The Two Wagoners (Intermediate Level) Folk Tale
•
Thomas Bachman
In this Episode we meet a couple of men who confront adversity with very different attitudes. We also see what God and St. Peter think about these two different approaches.
As usual, I start with an introduction. Then I read the full story, without stopping. Next, I go back and explain any interesting vocabulary. And finally, I read the story again, without stopping. Hopefully by the second time hearing it, you understand more easily than you did the first time hearing it.
