Story or Sermon?

tI was telling Baby Hilda a fairy story one night" said the sky pilot. Baby Hilda is my little girl. The story was all about another little girl who was chased by bears and who ran to the edge of a steep mountain and jumped off. No, she didn't die. The minute she jumped off she turned into a bird with wings and flew. That was the story.
 'Baby Hilda thought awhile about it, then she looked up and said, Papa, is that story true or was it just preach ing? "-New York Press.
