Holly, 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?
Holly: She was a generous old lady.

Why did the old woman finally get her apple dumpling at the end?
Holly: She deserved it because it must have took her a lot of time to exchange what she had for what could be of use to others. Also, the apple dumpling was worth it.

Comments?
Holly: Really great. Hip, hip, hurray for this story!
