Tale 86 told by Ania on 28.11.2000
Children

Sometimes the wierdest stories come from the strangest 
places. Listen to this for instance. The other day 
Asgor came to the Inn, he brought his five year ol daughter
Leena.  They're foresters from Unicorn Cove.
What a cutie that daughter of his is, and with Asgor
minding his beer more than her, she kept me company.

Now i tell you this, a mind of a five year old has an imagination
so rich and vivid. it's most fascinating. Listen to this.

I was look'n for Zootie, that's me rabbit ya know, she was 
beeing a baaaad rabbit..ran away into the mountain she did..
a big scary crack she found..ohh so dark..but i was brave and 
followed her ..baaad Zootie ...and ..and then we found a forest
and Aia was there..and she pettet all the animals and..and it 
was great and she let me too pet them all ..the deer too and 
the fox and big big bear that wasnt scary at all..aia live 
in a tree you know..and she saves all the hurt animals too.
I was sad when Aia took me back home...and now i can't find 
it again....

This is where i had to comfort her, she didn't make much sense
after she started crying, not that she made any more sense beofre
either.  Ahhh but it's nice to hear such pure innocence at times,
it reminds us of our youth. How sweet that was.
