A Read the first part of the story and answer the questions. Hector Hugh Munro (1870-1916) was a British author who wrote under the pen name Saki and often ridiculed old Victorian values, such as what was considered “proper” behavior. In the short story The Storyteller , a man on a train entertains three young children with a captivating tale. It was a hot afternoon, the railway carriage was correspondingly hot, and the next stop was at Templecombe, nearly an hour ahead. The occupants of the carriage were a small girl, a smaller girl, and a small boy. Their aunt occupied one corner seat, and the corner seat on the opposite side was occupied by a bachelor who was a stranger to their party, but the small girls and the small boy emphatically occupied the compartment. Both the aunt and the children were conversational in a limited, persistent way, reminding one of the attentions of a housefly that refuses to be discouraged. Most of the aunt’s remarks seemed to begin with “Don’t,” and nearly all of the children’s remarks began with “Why?” The bachelor said nothing out loud. “Don’t, Cyril, don’t,” exclaimed the aunt, as the small boy began smacking the cushions of the seat, producing a cloud of dust with each blow. 1.
