Which excerpt from "The Storyteller” best supports the theme that the purpose of stories is to entertain? “‘It’s a very difficul

t thing to tell stories that children can both understand and appreciate,’ she said stiffly.” “‘Why weren’t there any sheep?’ came the inevitable question arising out of that answer. “The aunt permitted herself a smile, which might almost have been described as a grin.” “A most improper story to tell to young children! You have undermined the effect of years of careful teaching.” “‘At any rate,’ said the bachelor, collecting his belongings preparatory to leaving the carriage, ‘I kept them quiet for ten minutes, which was more than you were able to do.’”

Entertaining someone means to capture their attention.

When the bachelor says at the end <em>"I kept them quiet for ten minutes, which was more than you were able to do"</em> he is implying that no matter what she thought of his story and how much "better" she thought she could've done it, his was able to capture the attention of these kids and that is the matter of the issue because, for a story, entertaining is more important than proper form
