HomeShort StoriesThe Tale of Rabbit Jack - Audio Version

Summary:

A Tall Tale (absolutely true) as told by an old prospector. He has told this one and others to many children -- and adults, too!. There is a text version also on this site if you prefer. Obviously, you should enjoy both. The picture is by my wife, MommaSama.

I’ve been an entertainer almost all of my life. This is a story I performed many times in Austin, Texas, primarily at Chicago House, a now defunct theater just off 6th Street, the famous Entertainment District of Austin. I also performed it for an audience of mostly kids at the Austin Children’s Museum. So gather the kids around for a listen to a tale told by a grizzled old desert prospector out among sagebrush, rocks and cactus. It’s just over 16 minutes long.

If you would prefer the pure text version, go here (there’s a button for the audio at the end):

Well, Thank you, Thomas. Superb, huh? Tremendous, too? Two out of three words that are pretty damn good. I don’t know about that third one, though. That’s one word I kind of like to avoid. But I sure do thank you for the other ones. You know, of course, that there’s a version with words, too. Just in case you might want to read it sometime. Hmmm, I think I’ll start adding a link to the text versions of these audio versions, just in case some folks might want to take their time.

Thanks again, Thomas,

Age Rating Feature

STARSRITE is trying to make the online publishing experience as easy and as rewarding as possible. One of the unique features STARSRITE has introduced is for writers to rate their own work by age level.

STARSRITE “Age Rating” feature gives readers more insights as to what they will be expecting to encounter and be aware before they start reading a post or chapter.

STARSRITE “Age Rating” system provides 5 labels which can cover most age levels.

Everyone

Teens (13+)

Mature (17+)

Adult (18+)

Rating Pending

How Does it Work?

No one is more qualified or more responsible than the authors themselves. Only they can classify which age rating their work falls under. When a writer uploads a post or a chapter the input form gives them the choice to assign an “Age Rating” for their work.

The author has the choice between the 4 labels:

– E for Everyone,

– Teens13+

– Mature17+

– Adult18+

They also have the choice not to label their work if they choose not to. In this case the post or chapter will be labeled as:

-Rating Pending
