I have translated into lojban the amusing children's story of Ferdinand the Bull, with the intention that it be useful for lojban learners.
The grammar and vocabulary are standard, nothing experimental, with minimal use of affix compounds or complex nesting.
I do prefer "h" to "'".

Here are the release versions of the bilingual English/lojban text and the lojban-only text.

la_fernandos_jbo.txt

Here are MP3 readings at a relaxed pace of the lojban text and the English-lojban interleaved text.
These may be good for listening to during your daily commute -- I do that to improve my recognition skills!
The recordings are 13 minutes and 18 minutes, resp.

Thanks to mezohe for constructive criticism, even if I did not take all his advice.

In addition, I made an mp4 slide show with the story's pictures and the translated text to go with the audio.
The server doesn't stream, you have to download it.

Thanks for all that effort! 

I personally find 'h' instead of "'" hard to read, after years of reading "'".

doi gejyspa, just wondering -- which do you mean?
a- I hope you will transliterate the text so I can read it more easily.
b- I hope you change your opinion, for the harmony of lojbanistan.
If the latter, we could start a new thread and discuss.
