“Story telling means far more to children than many people realize.
The love for stories is born in every child and it takes but a
remarkably short time before almost every child becomes a really
wonderful listener.
“It is interesting to observe how the mind of the child is developed.
At first, many can keep their attention on a story only a short
time, but they soon learn the power of application and can listen
breathlessly for an hour and then ask for another story, even though
they know the time is up. After their attention has once been gained,
children will listen to stories as long as the story teller will
continue.
