Read the excerpt from "the storyteller." "why weren’t there any flowers? ” "because the pigs had eaten them all,” said the bachelor promptly. "the gardeners had told the prince that you couldn’t have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers.” there was a murmur of approval at the excellence of the prince’s decision; so many people would have decided the other way. how does the characterization of the children create satire? they are curious about what is in the garden. they are to learn that the prince chooses pigs over flowers. they interrupt the bachelor just as much as they interrupt their aunt. they sometimes interrupt because they like the story they are being told.

The correct answer to this question is: They sometimes interrupt because they like the story they are being told. In this short story "The Storyteller" by H. H. Munro (Saki), the characters interaction is being described as a dynamic one, after listening to some stories the children react, response, reply and comment, most of the times in a bad tone. The children are asking questions to their aunt because they are bored, they are in a railway carriage and the following stop is almost in one hour. The children create satire, due to the fact that despite the aunt's efforts to keep them busy and perhaps quiet, they demanded more from her stories and often asked why. The bachelor in the carriage who was a stranger to them, answered one of  their questions "Why weren't there any flowers?", whose was appointed by the children to be the most beautiful story they had ever heard, in contrast the aunt found it improper for the children. However, the young man replied that he was able to keep the children quiet with it, unlike her, whose stories have been plain during all the way.
