The tiny children all gathered in the small living room that was cluttered with shelves full of ceramic antiques, books, and trinkets hanging on the wall. They all sat down on the floor with their legs all criss crossed.

They looked up at the old man as he pulled up a wooden chair in his left hand while holding a book in the other. He placed the wooden chair in the center surrounding the children. When he sat down it made a slight creaking noise.
