Brendan, age 9

Responds to the English folk tale The Apple Dumpling:

Why did the old woman give away her flowers and her golden chain without asking for anything in return?
Brendan: Because she didn't want the family to starve.

Why did the old woman finally get her apple dumpling at the end?
Brendan: Because she gave the old man the dog.

Comments?
Brendan: It was a good English story that made me hungry.
