Saki's Purpose

In "The Storyteller", the author gives us some clues about his purpose might be. Reading the following clues. How might they illustrate his purpose?

• The aunt's story is "deploringly uninteresting".
• The aunt keeps saying "don't" and the children keep asking "why?".
• The children think the bachelor's story is beautiful, but the aunt think it's improper.

• These clues above illustrate the author's different purposes by telling us several things that represent several different ideas that, in the end, create a whole idea, a whole picture that tells us something else. The first one told is that the proper stories are very disliked by the children - they have heard similar stories many times and are tired of it. These children want something new. The second thing is that the clues inform us is that the children are curious and will not be satisfied by just the aunt's proper stories. The third thing is that the clues let us know that the children need something new, something that's completely different than what they are familiar with, and not something that keeps on repeating. 
• The author's main point or purpose he is trying to convey to both adults other people is that the children in the world cannot be contained by only the same repeating boring, proper stories because they are curious about the world, and no matter what you tell them, unless you give them a really good and clever answer, they will not be satisfied and keep on asking you questions until you are very annoyed.
