Answer:
Conflict in a story is a struggle between opposing forces. Conflict exists between the aunt and the three children, who are boisterous, disobedient, and extremely annoying. Despite her numerous attempts to distract and silence her nephew and nieces, the children refuse to settle down and expect their aunt to entertain them. In an attempt to quiet and please the children, the aunt tells them a mundane, moralistic tale, which is boring and dull.
