b'LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP\\u2026 Story Time With Alf is here! Every Wednesday I regal you with a story from somewhere in my unusual and interesting life. It could be funny, sad, serious or disturbing, the important thing is that every story has a lesson. Even though these are my stories, you can apply these lessons to your own life, or perhaps they will remind you of your own similar story and the lessons you learned from it. Either way, you should be entertained. As you listen I really want you to consider your own stories, when did you learn these lessons? Can you remember? Sometimes digging up your own past can have great benefit, especially if you are made to remember that one singular moment in time when you learned something vital. It\\u2019s almost like learning it all over again. That\\u2026is the purpose of these stories. In fact, I think there is nothing quite so human as the hearing and telling of stories. It\\u2019s how our ancestors conveyed critical information from one generation to the next. The stories told around campfires the world over are what eventually shaped our species into what it is today. Today\\u2019s story called Look Before You Leap is not funny, or fun. This story is quite serious, but then, the lessons I learned from it were quite serious too.'
