Summary

Storyteller Simone Schuemmelfeder shares this delightful Spanish tale of a miserable old woman who hates autumn because of children stealing the delicious pears from her tree. One day, an old man appears and asks for a pear using the magic word ‘please’. He gets his pear. In return, the old woman is given a wish which means she never hates autumn again, and the local children learn an important lesson. Learn more about your ad choices.
