Reading and Discussing Stories by Saki. If you liked this story, you will probably like other stories by Saki. Form groups of three or four, and check out the short stories by Saki at the Big Pond website. Choose at least three stories to read. Read the stories and then discuss them with the others in your group. Which story did each of you like best, and why? Do you think Saki is a good storyteller? Why, or why not? Did any of the stories that you read include either a vein of cruelty or a surprise twist in the last sentence? Explain.
