Thanks, poli.

But Chileno's option is good enough, isn't it?

I'm a bit confused.

I believe the chileno may be mixing pronouns here(that Miapo Valley red wine it effecting him negatively no doubt--although moderate use is good for translation). I believe my second most recent translation (the children were used to you telling them stories) is the right one.

Chileno, what are you drinking?

I liked Chileno's translation

Many thanks, poli.

I had to resort to that so that you can see it inyour mind.

...telling them stories

...to tell them stories, I think it is grammatically correct, but not used...

Thanks.
