Old Mrs. Moody holds her breath as the prize wheel spins at the Adopt-a-Pet booth. Who will win, and what will the GRAND PRIZE be?

"And the winner is… Misssssusss Moooooody!"

She wins! And the grand prize is a fishbowl and a beautiful little goldfish!

Thrilled with her new pet, Mrs. Moody hurries home to set up the fishbowl and settle her little fishy into its new home. All is going well until she tries to feed it and accidentally dumps the whole box of fish food into the water. And now the water is cloudy and dirty! Oh no! Her poor little fish! Old Mrs. Moody isn't sure what to do.

Just then, Catbaloo knocks on the door and comes to the rescue. She's had a goldfish before and knows just what to do to fix the dirty water problem.

Once the water is clean again, Catbaloo even shows Old Mrs. Moody that goldfish can learn to do tricks, and before long, her little goldfish is quite the performer!

Throughout the story, listeners will learn a little about caring for a goldfish and be reminded that sometimes help is already on the way, even when we don't know it yet

On a visit to her sister Pearl's hobby farm, Old Mrs. Moody teaches Catbaloo how to gather eggs from the chicken coop. With their baskets full, they find a shady spot beneath a tree and sit down to examine the eggs.

When Old Mrs. Moody points out a beautiful speckled egg, Catbaloo is reminded of the story of Pipi, a little mouse who discovers a spectacular egg hidden in a clump of tall grass in the churchyard. Certain he hears something inside, Pipi rolls the egg home and keeps it warm while he waits for it to hatch.

As Catbaloo tells the story, Festus, a darling miniature donkey, climbs into Old Mrs. Moody's lap to listen. Perhaps you'd like to climb up next to Festus and hear the story, too.

There's much to learn from Pipi's Spectacular Egg: a little about chickens and eggs, and a lot about believing in things you cannot yet see.

Thank you for listening

At an estate sale at the mysterious house at the end of their street, Old Mrs. Moody and Catbaloo discover a fascinating antique clock. When they accidentally wind the clock backwards, something incredible happens—they travel back in time!

Suddenly, they find themselves in Promontory, Utah, on May 10, 1869, just in time to witness the historic Golden Spike celebration—the moment the transcontinental railroad is finally completed.

Old Mrs. Moody even becomes part of the story when she volunteers to send a Morse code message over the telegraph, announcing to the entire country that the final rail has been laid.
