This is a very interesting and satisfying story. It is full of wisdom, full of common sense. The narrator is very good. He reads intelligently and always puts the intonation in the right place. His natural voice is very pleasant. I have deducted one point because some of his characters had a high-pitched voice which grated on my ears a little bit.

A good story. Good values. Good common sense.
