Luke's ENGLISH Podcast - Learn British English with Luke Thompson

Learn English with another short story. This time it's a 300-word story by Katherine Brush, often used in literature classes, and full of vivid imagery and an emotional twist. I read the story to you, and then go through each line, explaining vocabulary and grammar.
