Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."
"However, the scent of the myrtle was so strong that the
wolf could not sniff out where Bertha was hiding, and the
bushes were so thick that he might have hunted about in
them for a long time without catching sight of her, so he
thought he might as well go off and catch a little pig
instead. Bertha was trembling very much at having the
wolf prowling and sniffing so near her, and as she trembled
the medal for obedience clinked against the medals for
good conduct and punctuality. The wolf was just moving
away when he heard the sound of the medals clinking and
stopped to listen; they clinked again in a bush quite near
him. He dashed into the bush, his pale grey eyes gleaming
with ferocity and triumph, and dragged Bertha out and
devoured her to the last morsel. All that was left of her
were her shoes, bits of clothing, and the three medals for
goodness."
