After bedtime story time, when my grandson was young, he would usually ask me to tell him a story. I would tell him a story, but would make sure that there is a moral message in it for him. Sometimes I would ask him to tell me a story. It was amazing what stories his little imagination would come up with. I am publishing some of these stories in the hopes that they will encourage children to experience the treasures of the written word. As for me, I am enjoying my senior years in the Vancouver area of B.C. with friends and family.
