Both stories should be shortened and adapted for narration.
I trust that the grouping of my stories in this section may not be misleading. Under "Myths, Legends and Fairy Tales"
I have included many stories which contain valuable ethical teaching, deep philosophy and stimulating examples for conduct in life. I regret that I have been unable to find a good collection of stories from history for narrative purposes.
I have made a careful and lengthy search, but the stories are all written from the _reading_ point of view rather than the _telling_.
