I have a boy who loves to have me tell him stories. True stories usually need modification and adornment if they are to remain interesting, and so many stories told him were embellished. These stories have been written for my own amusement at night while others were sleeping or as a rest between more serious tasks. Some of these are true, some partly true and some are products of the imagination.
