Disobeyed Orders

Jasper heads to the seashore for a quiet afternoon with his book, but his mother's warning about a cunning whale playing dead near the shore proves harder to ignore than he expects.

Music Moves Him
1 pp · humor

Jim Dandy and his violin produce such awful music that it moves everyone to tears—though not for the reasons he hopes. When a listener reveals they now stuff their ears with cotton to avoid his performances, Jim discovers that his emotional connection to his own playing isn't quite shared by his audience.

Makes a Wise Step
1 pp · humor

Sgt. Jan approaches his captain with a worn-out shoe problem—the soles have gotten so thin he can feel the difference between heads and tails through them. When the captain refuses to believe the shoes need replacing, Jan demonstrates just how paper-thin the leather has become with a humorous bit of evidence that even a superior officer can't argue with.

Flower Time
6 pp · humor; children

When Punchy and Judy open a flower shop with high hopes, the scheming Sylvester Buttery Barth and his accomplice Herman Honkweiler set a trap—coating the bouquets with sneezing powder to sabotage the grand opening. But rain and good intentions work in unexpected ways, and Sylvester's own treachery comes back to haunt him while Punchy and Judy's generous spirit wins over the whole town.
