The Donno … Part 2

» Every story has a beginning, « the old man said.

» Once upon a time …? « the llama asked.

» No, not this time, « the old man continued.

» There was once a man who got his living by working in the fields. He had a little son, called Bromford Curley-locks, and one little daughter, called Kylie Golden-tresses. But his wife was dead, and, as he had to be out all day, these children were often left alone. So, as he was afraid that some evil might befall them when there was no one to look after them, he, in an ill day, married again. «

» Brother Bromford? « the llama asked the young lady, but both, the old man and the young lady shushed it with noises and looks.
