Ruth’s Sister

When I was a little girl 3 or 4 years old, I had long straight hair that was very fine and got tangled.  Combing it out was painful.  Often, it was my sister, Ruth's, job to comb it.  To distract me, she made up stories about the "Knot Family" and their adventures which so enthralled me that I didn’t mind the pain. 

It's decades later and I still remember her telling me those tales.
