In these three short stories, Sadie the Swan takes The True Princess Test, the Pond Life are haunted by a Ghost Swan, and Bertie sees off Barker the Dog.
We first published the stories, right at the beginning of Storynory in November 2005. They formed introductions to our Christmas Carol Pantomime in three parts. This Christmas we decided to edit the Bertie stories out of audio, so that our listeners can get straight to Scrooge. Many of our new listeners won’t have heard them, and many of our long-standing faithful listeners won’t have heard them for a while – so we are republishing them here. We’ve added a little jazzy music for Pond Life atmosphere.
Bertie fans will notice that Colin the Carp has a slightly different voice. This is because he is played by Rob who took the part of Scrooge in the pantomime.
All other voices by Natasha. Duration 9.48 minutes.
(We are afraid that the texts have been lost to posterity in the mists of time)

bertie are you a real prince?
anser bertie
Dear Megan, Bertie is real prince in this story. However, he’s not real prince in reality. You know… Prince Charles is real prince in England (but he probably break royal rule so…) I think Prince William is avaliabe in England. No King in England… There’s a Queen of England.
Dear Princess Emma – William seems to be about to become engaged to Katie Middleton, so the papers say – and this is a really dangerous time for a prince, it’s just when he’s most likely to be turned into a frog, so he will be lying low for a bit I expect.
Oh I acknowledge about this. Anyways, thank you for inform me~
it is COOL!!!
i like bertie. plz res-pond!
Dear Neil, Glad you like frogs…but what do you think of that stinky old carp, Colin?
i do NOT like him.(carb guy)
Bertie,can you delete the rude comments?
Keven, yes I can delete rude comments, but please let me know which ones. There are about 30 comments a day or so, and sometimes I miss a few rude ones when I’m in a hurry. I allow comments that are politely critical of Storynory, or me, but I don’t mean to let comments through that are rude about other people using the site. bertie@storynory.com.
