What happens in "The Storyteller"?

In "The Storyteller," by Saki:

• An aunt and her nieces and nephew travel by train.

• A bachelor is in the same carriage as they are.

• The aunt tries to keep the children quiet.

• She tells them a story with a moral lesson at the end.

• The bachelor tells them another story, which contradicts the moral lesson.

• The aunt is furious at the bachelor.

The aunt in "The Storyteller" is unaware of her flaws. She does not understand that, to keep the children quiet, she must find ways to entertain them. That is precisely what the bachelor does.

The aunt complains that it is difficult to tell children stories. However, she also criticizes the bachelor's story, saying it is improper. She does not admit that the bachelor told a better story than she did.
