"The story of the other day" represents the unconditional love for children - through a tender dialogue in the darkness of the room shortly before going to sleep - from which the ability of children to get the adult to recover, of their past childhood stage, lost emotion and fantasy. Many families will identify with this nocturnal scene, waiting for the little ones in the house to fall asleep.

the same old story, which calms and heals; the key to happy dreams.
