Summary Note

Margaret gives the background to her first story for the Literary Society, "A Grave for Frankie." Ku Pru told her the story. It was about her uncle who was a wizard. She told her that when the wizard's uncle died his son sat on his grave for three days so that no one could come and dig the body up (the Siamese would use remains of a wizard for all kinds of superstitious practices). The story itself was about a true wizard, although the details could be fictitious. (Length 3:39)
