Thicker Than Water | Read-Along Story for Adults

Join me as we read this award winning short story, originally published in 1916 and lightly adapted for modern audiences. Today's story: "Thicker Than Water" by Ralph Henry Barbour and George Randolph Osborne — a short story about a young man whose sister faces a medical emergency, and the fear and uncertainty he feels along the way.

This story also includes some old-fashioned slang used in dialogue, such as "beefin" (meaning "to argue or complain") and "croak" (meaning "to die"). If you've ever felt frustrated while reading, you are not alone. Many adults find reading difficult for a variety of reasons. That is why I have provided large, easy to read karaoke style captions on a cream background. The active word is highlighted so you don't lose your place, and you can learn new words with me along the way. My hope is that this will make reading a more enjoyable experience for you. Thanks for reading with me. See you next time.
