Reck To Extension Family: § 3. a. GUTHRIESVILLE (Chester Co.) Children have an innate gift, said National Storyteller Association member Greta Rech, to “see the miracles and joy in everyday life,’’ something we could lose as we grow older. But we don’t have to, as long as we keep alive the joy of telling stories to our children. Rech, along with guitar accompanist Karen Semmelhack, pre sented several heartwarming tales to 125 family and friends of Chester County Cooperative Extension on Thursday night at the annual extension meeting at the East Brandywine Fire Hall. Rech, Chatham, a member of the Patchwork Storytellers Guild, has been telling childrens’ stories for fundraisers and community events the past two years simply for fun, she said. In essence, Thursday night’s performance was the debut appearance for Rech and Semmelhack, who combine tales of magic and music to stretch the imagination of young and old. Rech presented two tales Thursday evening. The first was entitled ‘ ‘A Song For Lena’ ’ by Hillary Hippley in the book illus trated by Leslie Baker. The story told about the farm girl Marlena (‘ ‘Lena’ ’} who, with the help of her mother and sister Anna, make some apple strudel. The good apples, after they were sorted, went on the market, the bruised ones to cider, and the little ones to strudel. After the dough was rolled and stretched, and the apples, butter, sugar, and raisins were mixed and baked, the girls went to play in the orchard. Chester County Cooperative Extension welcomed 125 to its annual banquet Thurs day night.

Lena, though afraid of the beggar, decided to give him some of the strudel. In return, he sat down and “some thing very strange happened,” related Rech. The girls heard a “beautiful, beautiful music ... a soft song, sweet and sad,” being played, while the girls sat quietly and listened. So it came to pass that every year, when die strudel was baking, (he beggar would appear. After he took some bites of strudel, the same thing would occur, and ‘ ‘ that evening, we were full of music and apple strudel.” However, one year, the beggar didn’t come. But Pappa told them,' ‘if you listen very carefully, perhaps you can hear the beau tiful song,” and the girls heard the beautiful music created by the crickets in the field and the birds in the evening. Rech told the extension family and friends, “Songs are cross generational, and can provoke the same kinds of feelings between us.” Semmelhack, from Downingtown, with her guitar sang a song, * ‘The Moon Is Made Of Cookie Dough,’ ’ written by Lisa Atkin son. The song spoke of how the moon ‘ ‘is made of cookie dough and rainbows never fade,” with the answers to what makes it so special “right inside your heart.” Rech told another story, this one an anonymous anecdote, about a man who took an island vacation. He was walking along the beach one day and “saw something quite odd in the dis tance,” said Rech, Saturday, November 9, 1996-A2l Century Award (Continued from Page A2O) remain as agriculture land.
