In the story, a man finds himself stuck in a train compartment with misbehaving children and their aunt. The aunt tries to keep the children occupied by telling them a story. When her moralistic story fails to interest the children, the man decides to intervene and entertain them with a different kind of story. One of the most popular tales from Beasts and Super-Beasts, "The Story-Teller" is often used in the classroom. The story was adapted as the first of three segments of the 2007 BBC television movie Who Killed Mrs De Ropp?
