Do you think that Martha and the children enjoyed stories?


Yes, I think Martha and the children both were enjoying the stories. Martha was one such story-teller. She knew how to create an atmosphere of
make-believe. She was keen interested in telling the stories. She used her appearance, her tone, her gestures (चेहरे का भाव) all contributed (सहायता किया)
to the effect of her stories.

And the children listened to her stories with rapt attention. They were enjoying the stories perfectly. They were so charmed that they began to like imaginatively (काल्पनिक) in the world of dreams and fairies.
