Hi, this is Ariel.
I just wanted to say that after this episode I'm going to take a break for the holidays.
I'm going to take two weeks off because as I said before, I'm going on holiday to Seville.
So the next episode will be on the 7 January.
I hope you all have a wonderful Hanukkah Christmas new year.
Whatever you're celebrating, have a lovely holiday and I will see you in the new year.
Thank you.
Welcome to Easy stories in English, the podcast that will take your English from okay to good and from good to great.
I am Ariel Goodbody, your host for this show.
Todays story is for pre intermediate learners.
The name of the story is the toy rabbit.
You can find a transcript of the episode@easystoriesinenglish.com toy thats easysystoriesinenglish.com toy t o y this contains the full story as well as my conversation before it today's story is a famous english Christmas story.
The original title is the Velveteen Rabbit, written by Marjorie Williams.
Actually, I didn't grow up with this story when I was a child.
I didn't know this story, but it is quite old and it was very famous.
At the time I thought it was an american story because I heard about it on the american tv show friends, but actually it's a british story.
So hopefully my version is interesting and it gets you in the Christmas spirit.
I know not everyone celebrates Christmas, so at some point I should probably do stories for other celebrations such as Hanukkah.
But Christmas is a big celebration.
It's a big holiday here in the UK and I can't escape it.
