Very nice, Anna.
Just a short note for you and your BR though.
The past tense for
"lie" (to be or to stay at rest in a horizontal position) is
"lay". The past tense for
"lie" (to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive) is
"lied".
She took her clothes off, blew the lamp that was providing her light out and lied on the bed.
I didn't think that Lois telling an untruth on her bed was what you had in mind with that sentence.
The same applies to the other sentences where
lied was used. It is a commonly made mistake. I checked a dictionary to make sure I didn't remember it wrongly myself.
Yours was a very nice story.
I guess I should hurry up and think of a folk story tie-in in response to my own challenge huh?
