At the end of her aunt's story in “The Story-Teller," the older girl asks whether the girl in the story would have been rescued even if she had not been good. What does she seem to think is the theme of her aunt's story? What detail in the aunt's story leads her to think so?
The older girl seems to think the theme of the story is that being good isn't always going to save you from your problems. Like when she said "wouldn't they have saved her even if she wasn't good?" Meaning that being good doesn't always come in handy.
Hope this helps
