did u really write tht?

[claudesteiner]

Yes I did, and it was first published in 1971 in the Transactional Analysis Journal. Later with illustrations by Jalmar Press and still in print!

Cute story, but what's with the annoying background music? It sort of a bad distraction, and doesn't really fit it. If this sound track was put on after you recorded the story, and if you still have the original video file, I would be grateful if you could upload the original video without this background music.

[claudesteiner]

Thanks for the comment. Obviously this is aan amateur effort. The author of the music agrees with you. A more better version is in the works.

Dear Claude,

I love this story -- 30 years ago it changed my life and has been a guiding light ever since. Thank you with all my heart!!!

Thanks for reading this -- However, I sincerely wish your YouTube recording had been cleaner -- with only your voice, perhaps. The music crowds you out, making it VERY difficult to hear and understand well this delightful story.

Please re-record, if you can. Otherwise, thanks again for this charming and profound tale.

... just to say sorry about the three posts ... I don't know what happened as the internet froze whilst posting. Sorry.

... hi Claude, how wonderful that you are so accessible. I am reading your book at the moment and doing a paper on what impact modern fairy/child stories may have on script and script analysis. I love your writing style and you have contributed so much to the TA world ... so thanks!

I love the idea of this story, but I can't stand stories that don't have an ending. I do realize that we must make the ending by giving out warm fuzzes. However i still wish there was an ending.

This is so charming! I heard this story in Sunday school some time in the 1970s, and I was delighted to hear it read by the author. I think we made pom-poms out of red yarn and gave them to each other as an accompaniment to the story. Thank you for posting this, Mr. Steiner.

This was read to me when I was a little girl! I am so happily freaked-out right now that I am going to save this video until I have all the time to absorb it again.

You are a Saint, Mr. Steiner!
