It was exactly three hundred and sixty-five years old, but this long span of years seemed to the tree scarcely longer than as many days do to people like us. A tree's life is not the same as a man's. We are awake during the day, and sleep at night, and we have our dreams.

There is nobody in the world who knows so many stories as Ole-Luk-Oie, or who can relate them so nicely. In the evening, while the children are seated at the table or in their little chairs, he comes up the stairs very softly, for he walks in his socks, then he opens the doors without the slightest noise, and throws a small quantity of very fine dust in their eyes, just enough to prevent them from keeping them open, and so they do not see him.

Children love a good story. Even more so when their mom or dad reads it to them. Reading bed time stories to your child is a delightful way to bond with them, as well as a good tool to encourage their love for reading and learning. And if that’s not amazing enough, reading to your child helps sharpen their memory, improve their vocabulary, and boosts their creativity. Another great benefit to reading bed time stories to your little one is that it gets them in a calmer state, just in time for bed.

He had now to take care of his little sister Augusta, who was much younger than himself, and he was, besides, to learn his lesson at the same time; but these two things would not do together at all. There sat the poor little fellow, with his sister on his lap, and he sang to her all the songs he knew; and he glanced the while from time to time into the geography-book that lay open before him.
