I was listening to it several times at first trying to understand what was the story about. Then I copied the text to Purple Culture to get pinying for the words. Went through all the words to write down and listen to the words I didn´t know. After that, I listened again a few times. It had many new words.
战国时，有一个宋国的农夫，他每天都到田里辛苦地工作，来维持全家的生活。 有一天，那个农夫又像往常一样到田里工作的时候，看到一只跑得非常急的兔子，从草丛中窜出来时，竟然不小心一下撞死在田边的大树旁。“哇！怎么有这种事？我真是幸运。要是天天有这么样的大兔子送上门来的话，不是比耕田的收获更多吗？而且田里的工作忙也忙不完，哪有在树下捡兔子来得轻松啊？”农夫心中想着，就捡起兔子回家去了。 从此以后，那个农夫不再耕田了，每天就坐在田边的大树下，等候兔子来撞树自杀。日子一天一天地过去了，都没有等到一只兔子，可是那个农夫仍然不死心，还是每天坐在树下。 “哼！我就不相信！今天等不到，明天总会等到吧！” 过了好几个月，不仅没捡到兔子，连兔子的影子都没见着呢！农夫的那几块地，也因为太久没有耕种，都荒芜了。

One Chinese Word a Day podcast - words, 新, 说, and 天. I listened to one episode three times, wrote down words and sentences that I heard. Each episode offers three words and three sentences. So, for 新 they offer words like 新年, 新鲜, and 更新. And three sentences with that word. I actually had to listen several times to catch word by word to write down the sentence.
