Yes, wasn't it?

My Dad and I read it together when I was seven. I remember my Dad asking his usual question - "what was the moral of this story?"

I remember sort of staring at him, and Dad was like, "Sara's your best friend, right? Would you stop talking to her if she put her butter on the wrong way?"

Of course, imagining not liking my best friend(!) horrified me, so yes, I got the meaning. ;) And I plan on reading it someday.
