A collection of all kinds of stories. Squirt's favorite was the Scandinavian Folk Tale about the boy and the North Wind. Some of the stories were boring for him, but many were great. The one about ice fishing surprised him - he hadn't heard of it before and couldn't believe it. "That's impossible!"
