On The Night of the 4th

"And that is why we throw apples down the river on Midsummer night", the Storyteller concluded.

The children listening to the story looked at her in awe now. She surely knew everything.

"Will you tell us about the 4th of July, too?" asked Jimmy once again, hoping this time he'd get to hear it.

The Storyteller considered for a moment. Then she decided, "Very well then. I shall tell you. For you see. On July the 4th..."

Nothing happened.
