Lectionary Tales For The Pulpit
Once upon a time there was a boy known as Fearless Freddie. They called him Fearless because he wasn't afraid of anything. He wasn't afraid of the dark. He wasn't afraid of rats or snakes. He wasn't afraid of climbing tall trees. Freddie wasn't even afraid of the big, mean dog in Mrs. Polkinghorn's back yard! Freddie's mother used to say, "Freddie, you be careful! You might get hurt!" But Freddie would say, "Aw, Mom, I won't get hurt. I'm not afraid of anything."
