Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quaint Old Stories to Read and Act When the story is being read, the teacher, or a child who represents the story-teller, will read these action sentences (which are set off by spaces), and the story will move smoothly as a connected narrative. When the story is to be acted, these explanatory paragraphs will drop out naturally, giving way to the action which they describe. At the beginning of the dramatized stories the number of parts - that is, of characters appearing in each - has been indicated. To dwell upon the literary form in which these tales are presented, without a word as to the subject matter, would be to do the collection an injustice. It is the distinction of these stories, as of all true litera ture, that their setting is so much a part of themselves that the story, with its wit or wisdom or kindly deed.
