The Storyteller

The manager of the ABC Minors Club said John could go on stage and tell his children’s stories.

He was prepared with his cinema slides and ready for the interval. As the lights went up three usherettes walked down the aisles with trays of ice cream and drinks. The children got out of their seats queuing for the goodies.

John carried on with the story but went off at the end, crestfallen.

He was greeted by the manager: “That was great. Would you like to tell your stories at the ABC in the city centre? There are 1200 seats there.”
