Listen and Learn Story Maker

"Listen and Learn Story Maker" is an activity in JumpStart Languages. It is shown by clicking on either the Pavilion-exclusive character or the book (whose cover displays the story that is exclusive to its respective Pavilion).

Description
Because Roxy speaks English, the player can understand what she is saying, but he or she can have click on Frankie to have him read it aloud if he or she wants him to.

Since like Roxy, all series-wide characters speak English, clicking on Frankie (which is optional), Hopsalot, Pierre, or Kisha will have that character read a certain chapter in a certain story in English. Clicking on a certain pavilion character during a certain chapter will get him or her to repeat it in his or her language.

Even though, on chapter 1 (actually, the first pair of pages of the story itself), a certain series-wide character tells the player to click the folded corner on the right to hear the next chapter, after a short while, the page may still automatically turn, and the same is true on all of them until the end.

The player gets a globe piece from whichever series-wide character is associated with a certain pavilion character no matter what he or she chooses for the story.

If the player is in challenge mode, he or she has to select a certain part of the story that a certain pavilion-exclusive character wants in it.

Trivia

 * In the "Light Choices" selection of "John Henry," the firefly looks exactly like Edison.
 * Speaking of the story of John Henry, in the original story, while John Henry did succeed in completing the train tunnel, he died from overworking his heart in doing so. In this retelling, he lives breaking fifteen rocks, while a drill machine only breaks nine, and a prize (depending on the choice chosen) is given to John by the drill machine's owner.
 * The Romance-language-exclusive stories ("The Legend of the Volcanoes" and "The Ant and the Grasshopper") do not have happy endings.

Goof
In chapter 2 of "Momotaro," although, as Kisha translates, when the couple hits the giant peach with whichever weapon the player chooses, it pops open revealing Baby Momotaro, some gameplays (depending on how a certain computer runs) show the peach staying closed (and therefore hiding Baby Momotaro) even as the page is turning.
