Excerpt from Epaminondas and His Auntie One day she gave him a big piece of cake; nice, yellow, rich - gold cake. Epaminondas took it in his fist and held it all scrunched up tight, and came along home. By the time he got home there wasn't anything left but a fistful of crumbs. His Mammy said'what you got there, Epaminondas?' 'cake, Mammy,' said epaminondas.'cake!' said his Mammy. 'epaminondas, you ain't got the sense you was born with! That's no way to carry cake. The way to carry cake is to wrap it all up nice in some leaves and put it in your hat, and put your hat on your head, and come along home. You hear me, Epamlnondas?'

"A tagarela" é um exemplo de como essas dez narrativas podem ser interessantes desde o primeiro parágrafo: "Era uma vez uma boa e velha camponesa tagarela como uma gralha. Ela não conseguia guardar segredo sobre absolutamente nada. Era só ficar sabendo alguma coisa que na mesma hora sentia coceira na língua e tinha que sair correndo para contar tudo às vizinhas e informar a aldeia inteira da novidade". As crianças também adoram um segredo - e adoram mais ainda transformá-lo "secretamente" em informação pública e notória. Essa possibilidade de identificação é um dos fatores responsáveis pelo fascínio das Historinhas.
