Grandma was a good story teller, and she had a lot of interesting stories to tell children. There was the story of how the little boys were taught to listen to grown-ups. One day when they were out on the grassland, there was a fire. Their father shouted, “Fall down on your faces!” They did, and the big fire went over them and they weren’t hurt. There was also other story of three boys at school. Each of them received something to eat. One stored his food for himself, and the mice ate it; one ate all of his, and he got sick; and who do you think had the best time? Of course, the one who shared his food with his friends. Then there was the little boy who ran away from home and stayed away all day. When he came home after supper, he found the family sitting around the fire and nobody said word. He couldn’t stand it and said sorry to the family. And there was one about a very lazy man. He didn’t want to work at all even if he was hungry. Of course, he died of hunger.
