She sits in her usual ample armchair, with piles of books and unopened magazines around her. She sips cautiously from the mug of weak herb tea which is now her substitute for coffee.

The fairy tale, which to this day is the first tutor of children because it was once the first tutor of mankind, secretly lives on in the story.
