In London, A Stirring 'War Horse' Of A Drama

Let's take a break from our recent discussions: terrorism, oil spills, discrimination,tornadoes, and banks ripping us off!

As I was listening to Morning Edition on NPR, this refreshing story caught my ear. When I found it on NPR.gov, I discovered that it was one of the top five e-mailed stories today. Others find value in the story as well. Consider this post on the NPR blog: "Thank you for bringing this incredible story to NPR. I viewed the clips and hope that some day I will be able to see this show in person."

First, listen to the report. Remember that reading the transcript while listening will build your reading ability.
