🎵 Author's Playhouse 🎵 And he wished to sell you a kangaroo, Mrs. Copsman?
He did. He did. I can't help it, but I swear it's the truth. Luke McCoy may have been short of some of the virtues, but he had a good heart and a long memory. And that explains how he won his greatest case.

That was the opening. The rest of the episode (27 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
