About this listen

Award-winning storyteller Bill Gordh (Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence winner, National Association of Parenting Periodicals Gold Award winner) presents this folktale live with no script, accompanied only by his own dynamic banjo playing.

Little Ant was a hard worker and saved her money. With her savings she bought a new dress, shoes, and a beautiful hat, and she took a walk. A dog saw her and asked her if she would marry him. She asked him how he would talk after they were married. He got excited and started howling. She told him, "No - too scary." She walked on. A cat saw her and asked to marry her.

When asked how he would talk after they were married, he let out a very loud "MEOW!" She said, "No thanks." The duck was next, but his "QUACK!" received the same "no" response from Little Ant. Then a rat came along and made his proposal. His little squeak suited her just fine, and she married Senor Rat and was very happy with him.
