Auntie Jessie's Storytime

     When I was young I had an aunt, named Auntie Jessie.  She came from Liverpool and was a telephone operator in her youth.  At night she told us stories when she came to stay.  Here's how they went:
     First, she wanted us to choose a protagonist.  Next, she wanted to choose something they did, like knitting or baseball.  Lastly she wanted us to choose an ending, if I remember correctly.  Then she would make up a tailor-made story and tell it to us.  She was very good to do this.
