It was a dark and stormy night And the rain came down in torrents. And Antonio said to Antonio, "Tell us a tale." And the tale began as follows... (Spoken in an ominous voice and repeated incessantly.)
In the 1950s, my father frequently told us this story at bedtime, usually by special request. We lived in the suburbs north of Chicago, but his family was from the Manchester/Derbyshire area of the UK.
In turn, I frequently shared this story with my own children as well as hundreds of young children during my 25 years of teaching in Pinellas County, Florida.
It is interesting to see how this simple story has evolved over the years. Thank you for rekindling happy memories. :)
