Dear George Aichele,
I know the title of the story your daughter is seeking.
The story was written by Lev Tolstoy and the title is (sorry, translated
from italian) "What makes the men living". Unfortunately I don't have the
original title. However, this should be a good clue for you.

Good Luck!

Sounds like Pinoccio to me -- the book, not the Disney movie.

Note that messages in Humanist are consistently separated by
lines of hyphens. If your email reader has a search function, you
should be able to get to the end of a long posting fairly quickly
even if you just search for a bunch of hyphens. If you actually
attend to the way the message numbers are formatted, you should
be able to get there in a single jump.

Me, I don't mind long conference announcements in Humanist. Most are
for conferences I am not directly interested in, but some are for
conferences I won't go to but wish I could; I don't mind reading about
the details. And some are for conferences I will in fact attend. And
then I am usually grateful to have the information all there in
Humanist, without having to look somewhere else for it. I may be
the only one, but if you're counting votes, Willard, put me down
as saying I do not mind hitting Page Down a few times,
or Delete once.
