[SPAM] ne way to say them. So Uncle Bill

 we had partaken of tea. "Shall we put the jig-saw puzzle together; or
should you prefer to have me tell you a story?" "Tell me a story," he
said at once; "and then I'll tell you one. And then _you_ tell
another--and then _I'll_ tell another--" He broke off, to draw a long
breath. "It's a game," he continued, after a moment. "We play it in
kindergarten." "Do you enjoy telling stories more than hearing them
told?" I inquired, when we had played this game to the extent of three
stories on either side. "No," my little boy friend replied. "I like
hearing stories told more than anything. But _that_ isn't a game; that's
just being-told-stories. The _game_ is taking-turns-telling-stories." He
enunciated each phrase as though it were a single word. His mother had
spoken truly when she said that her little boy had learned to play
intelligently. He had learned, also, to include his elders in his games
on equal terms. Small wonder that they took real pleasure in playing
with him. The children cordially welcome us to their games. They ask us
to be children with them.
