“The children’s momentarily-aroused interest began at once to flicker; all stories seemed dreadfully alike, no matter who told them.”
“‘Was she pretty?’ asked the bigger of the small girls.
“‘Not as pretty as any of you,’ said the bachelor, ‘but she was horribly good.’

“‘Why weren’t there any flowers?’
“‘Because the pigs had eaten them all,’ said the bachelor promptly. ‘The gardeners had told the Prince that you couldn’t have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers.’”
“‘Unhappy woman!’ he observed to himself as he walked down the platform of Templecombe station; ‘for the next six months or so those children will assail her in public with demands for an improper story!’”ect two options.

Respuesta :

The correct answers are C and F.

   "The children's momentarily-aroused interest began at once to flicker; all stories seemed dredfully alike, no matter who told them."

 "There was a wave of reaction...It seemed to introduce a ring of truth that was absent from the aunt's tales of infant life."

The theme that pride comes before a fall was illustrated in the story, "The Storyteller." The evidence is seen in these statements;

  • "'It's a very difficult thing to tell stories that children can both understand and appreciate,' she said stiffly."
  • "'Unhappy woman!' he observed to himself as he walked down the platform of Templecombe station; 'for the next six months or so those children will assail her in public with demands for an improper story!'"

The aunt of the children was unfriendly when she remarked to the bachelor who was seated with them in the carriage that it is very difficult to tell children stories that they could appreciate.

She was proven wrong when the bachelor told the children a story that they all enjoyed. The humiliation she felt when the children assailed her for telling them an improper story represents her fall.

Thus, we find the theme of pride coming before a fall in the story.
