The Storyteller
(Reklamlänk)
In "The Storyteller" by Saki, the narrative unfolds in a railway carriage where a woman travels with her three young charges—two girls and a boy. Bored and restless, the children incessantly question their aunt, whose attempts to entertain them with a conventional moral tale fall flat. Frustrated by her inability to engage them, she challenges a nearby bachelor to tell a better story.
