WOW! That brings back a memory--from long, long ago--when my family did
*exactly that* during a power outage. I was about eight...got to be the
first reader. In fact, to this day it's difficult to 'not' associate
any mention of Aesop's with that memory! Another time when we read King
Arthur and the Knights....
No speed freaks that I knew of back then.
