Snuggled under the covers, we search for a story to read. We MIGHT want a little bit of a shiver, a SCARE with a poisoned APPLE, all in a faraway kingdom. Or maybe we will want a FABLE, with a wise ant and a lazy grasshopper, or perhaps a steady tortoise and a hasty hare. That’s a tale certain to be served with a LADLE of morals, making us laugh as we learn how we should be in the world. Or maybe we want an arch tale of flirtations and romance. What a lovely problem to have, as we snuggle under the covers, books piled around us, having a slumber party, just us two.
